Yes, I just notice this issue...

After your recent commit, there's a error when load initiate.lisp  
because of following changes:

+(defvar swank-backend:*after-init-hook* nil
+  "Hook run after user init files are loaded.")

and

-(defpackage :swank
-  (:use :common-lisp))
+(unless (find-package ':swank-backend)
+  (defpackage :swank-backend
+    (:use :common-lisp)
+    (:export #:*after-init-hook*)))

It seems that *AFTER-INIT-HOOK* does't exist in SWANK-BACKEND package  
(at least yesterday's SLIME trunk). If I load SWANK before  
initiate.lisp at startup, the symbol *AFTER-INIT-HOOK* won't be  
exported, and I got this:

 > Error: Reader error: No external symbol named "*AFTER-INIT-HOOK*"  
in package #<Package "SWANK-BACKEND"> .
 > While executing: CCL::%PARSE-TOKEN, in process listener(1).
 > Type :GO to continue, :POP to abort, :R for a list of available  
restarts.
 > If continued: Skip loading init file.
 > Type :? for other options.
