My best guess is that SLIME isn't using the same readtable that
FILE-ENABLE-SQL-READER-SYNTAX presumably modifies (in some mysterious,
unknown, and apparently unknowable way.)  Since still I don't know
anything about FILE-ENABLE-SQL-READER-SYNTAX, I don't know whether
that guess has anything to do with the actual problem.

Does (GET-MACRO-CHARACTER #\[) return non-NIL in the SLIME REPL ?

If that form is entered into a buffer and executed (via C-M-x or
whatever the binding is), do you obtain the same results ?
