I found a couple of free evenings this week to work on it further.
SB!C::%DEF-REFFER does a JFIW (Jump Far Into Weeds) when I call it - 
the problem seems to be that (SETF SB!C::FUNCTION-INFO-IR2-CONVERT)
didn't get dumped.  At least, it shows as undefined in cold-sbcl.map

In fact:
:; grep FUNCTION-INFO ../../output/cold-sbcl.map 
0x308F76F8: SB!C::FUNCTION-INFO-P   #X308F76E1
0x308F85C8: SB!C::MAKE-FUNCTION-INFO   #X308F85B1
0x308FEAA8: SB!C::FUNCTION-INFO-OR-LOSE   #X308FEA91
0x314FFF20: SB!C::INLINE-FUNCTION-INFO-P   #X314FFF09
0x31500B80: SB!C::MAKE-INLINE-FUNCTION-INFO   #X31500B69
(SETF SB!C::FUNCTION-INFO-IR2-CONVERT)
308F7435: SB!C::FUNCTION-INFO[11]
314FFC55: SB!C::INLINE-FUNCTION-INFO[6]

I don't see any FUNCTION-INFO accessors there at all.  Should they
have been dumped?  How do they spring into existence if not?
