Iterate changed in April, to fix the #L reader macro with regards to how
it handles backquote.  Your version of iterate predates those fixes, but
your version of sbcl postdates a change to the backquote
implementation.  I suspect that if you use a current version of iterate,
the problem will disappear.  (The WITH-TEMPORARY macro uses both #L and
backquote, which is why I suspect this).

Best wishes,
