In Emacs 24, bzr revno 109393, this file

(require 'cl)

(defun foo ()
  (let ((outer '42))
    (symbol-macrolet ((x outer))
      (let ((x 'inner))
	(assert (eq x 'inner))))))

(foo)

when executed with:  emacs -Q -batch -l symbol-macrolet.el 
produces:  Assertion failed: (eq x (quote inner))

With Emacs 22 the assertions doesn't fail.

Also, in Emacs 22 the macroepansion (via cl-macroexpand-all) 
produces something like

(let ((outer '42))
  (let ((outer 'inner))
    (progn
      (or
       (eq outer 'inner)
       (signal 'cl-assertion-failed
               (list
                '(eq x 'inner))))
      nil)))

while in Emacs 24 it looks like 

(let ((outer '42))
  (progn
    (let ((x 'inner))
      (progn
	(or
	 (eq outer 'inner)
	 (signal 'cl-assertion-failed
		 (list
		  '(eq x 'inner))))
	nil))))

Such a change should be documented.

While the above expansion returns the right value, it is not correct.
The right expansion would be

   (let ((outer '42))
     (let ((x 'inner))
       (progn
         (or
          (eq x 'inner)
          (signal 'cl-assertion-failed
                  (list
                   '(eq x 'inner))))
         nil)))

That's an accident, so it shouldn't be documented.  The new code is no
better than the old one, and arguably slightly worse since it fails in
your test while the old code worked.
I'm not yet sure how we can fix it properly, tho.

Well, it depends on the definition of "correct".  The old version seems
to do what the documentation says, i.e., let binding the variable is
treated like letf.  What you call "correct" may be closer to what ANSI
CL does, but such a change should be documented.

Either way, I don't see the point in breaking existing code.

Oh, I missed this "let -> letf" mapping of the old code.  Now it makes
more sense, thank you.  I'll try and reproduce the old behavior then.

I've installed a patch which should re-produce the old letf behavior.
