We seemingly have to blame SBCL. The changelog reveals a change in 2.0.3 related
to UTF, so it might be the case that < 2.0.3 will work for you, although I have
no clue why it should - merely based on the description below.

"""
New in version 2.0.3

    incompatible change: the external format now defaults to UTF-8 and is not
affected by LANG. SB-EXT:*DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* is now the only way to change
it.
"""

Unfortunately I have no SBCL >= 2.x in use yet. Let us know if you get new
insights.
