I think my issue is that I am not using the UIOP image dump facility. This is because in Allegro CL we use thei built-in excl functions like excl:generate-application --- it's not a matter of a generic dumplisp.
So I'm pretty sure the solution is to call the register-image-restore-hook myself as part of e.g. the post-load-form of e.g. excl:generate-application. Longer term, maybe I can look into extending the UIOP image dump mechanism itself, to be able to use the different mechanisms in Allegro in addition to the generic excl:dumplisp. I will study the code and that the current documentation some more, and assuming the current code is sufficient for these situations, I'll see what I can do at least to contribute to the documentation to cover these kinds of situations.
