I'm surprised because I was convinced that you participated in mailing list discussions in January (here and/or in clisp-devel).  Thus I'd thought you know that CVS past 2.38 contains important MacOS fixes in the area you mention.  The above looks exactly like one of the fixed bugs.

>Perhaps the directions should suggest 2.3 instead of 2.2.
Sam Steingold already did this for CVS immediately after 2.3 was announced.

For the other things you mention (e.g. configure/cache), I believe you're correct.

I'm sorry if you have trouble accessing CVS.  I also understand when people prefer to try out releases instead of being directed to CVS trees.  I feel like that about SLIME.
