The output is different because you're using my version of the defn-fn
macro, which I checked in late this afternoon.

My solution to this was to walk the tree returned by deriv and
replacing the symbols for functions (i.e. +, -, sin, cos, etc) with
their fully qualified names (ie. clojure.core/+, incanter.core/sin,
etc), and replacing variable symbols (i.e. x y) with gensym-ed
versions.
