Turns out, the problem is not with mem-aref, but with the mem-aref compile-
macro. It binds *parse-bare-structs-as-pointers* to T, whereas mem-aref 
function 
doesn't, this affects the result of foreign-type-size.

(cffi:defcstruct foo
  (classid :short)
  (name :short)
  (methodid :short))(cffi:defcstruct foo
  (classid :short)
  (name :short)

(cffi:foreign-type-size 'foo)
=> 6

(let ((cffi::*parse-bare-structs-as-pointers* t))
  (cffi:foreign-type-size 'foo))
=> 8
