After realizing that everything worked fine if I launched SBCL from the terminal instead of slime and hunting around the mailing list, I discovered the following fix (which I believe is now on the wiki):
Putting the line (setf swank:*communication-style* :fd-handler) in the file ~/.swank.lisp allows the SDL examples to run when launched from SLIME. The earlier messages I was looking at seemed to think that the problem might be due to SLIME's default policy of spawning new threads and Cocoa's idiosyncracies with respect to drawing from outside the main thread. I'm not entirely familiar with either of these topics, but I have a feeling both my problem and the problems with CCL are related to this issue.
