The first of the three printed lines -- the one from the print inside
the w-s-io-s, is the one that appears wrong.  Either the CLISP printer
is nonconforming, or (more likely) w-s-io-s is binding *print-radix*
true.  It is specified to bind it false.

A confirmation would be to execute this:

  (with-standard-io-syntax *print-radix*)
