Here.  `slot-kw' is not a keyword, it is a symbol.  Everything
returned from `string->symbol' is a symbol, even if it has a strange
name.

Normally, symbols with strange names are printed in a special way, but
we forgot to do that for symbols that would be read as a keyword.
Also, keywords with funny names wouldn't print right.  This is fixed
in CVS now.

You need to use

        (define slot-kw (symbol->keyword (string->symbol "#:test-1")))
