I can't reproduce the issue on my machine. There must be a difference in
our setups.

Are you on a Guix system, or on another distribution?
Are you using the stumpwm from the system profile, or from your user
profile (e.g. started by a ".xinitrc" file)?
Is sbcl installed in your user profile or not?
Do you have a ".sbclrc" file? If yes, what is in it?
Do you have Common Lisp libraries coming from outside of Guix (e.g.
Quicklisp)?
