Observation: UnsupportedCharsetException? is a Java runtime exception.
Hypothesis: The SLIME :spawn communication style is not correctly communicating the runtime exception back to the SWANK listener.

Triggering the runtime exception via
(jstatic "forName" "java.nio.charset.Charset" "foo")
shows that SLIME does seem to work with RuntimeException?.
Maybe the difference is that the RuntimeException? is occurring inside nested constructors?
Recommendation: signal a meaningful Lisp condition when an invalid charset is used.

SIMPLE-ERROR now signaled for invalid encodings in r14735.
Unsure if there is still a problem lurking in how SLIME interacts with Java exceptions thrown by the ABCL implementation, but closing for now.
