I don't know how to fix it, but it appears to be related to the
synchronization of the notion of the current namespace between swank
and slime. This incantation works around it:

; SLIME 2009-01-01
user> (in-ns 'junk)
#<Namespace junk>
junk> (in-ns 'user)
#<Namespace user>
user>

After the first call, documentation is displayed correctly without an
exception being thrown. The second call restores us to the user
namespace.

That's what I mean -- I should have been more specific. Oddly enough,
the online documentation works fine when I'm coding in a non-REPL
buffer (it doesn't throw an exception then), nor do I get an exception
when I use C-c C-e to evaluate a one-line Clojure expression.

I'll refetch everything, apply the Swank patch and try again --

Looks like the correct patch to basic.clj should be:
(defslimefn create-repl [target] '("user" user))

That works great for me. Thanks very much!
