  Are there ANY cases in which PCL's WITH-SLOTS macro respects inner
  lexical bindings of symbols that are used in the list of slots?

Unfortunately, no.
  
  If you look at EXPAND-WITH-SLOTS-INTERNAL, there is no apparent check
  of the lexical context before transforming a symbol. (There is not
  even a parameter of EXPAND-WITH-SLOTS-INTERNAL to represent the lexical
  context, although concievably that is being kept around in special variables
  by the code walker).

I presume checks for lexical bindings should be added.
