Nothing is printed, only the return value NIL. This does not happen with CLISP. Trying to set up Slime and emacs and SBCL or CLISP in Windows was really not without problems.

I wonder if adding a (finish-output) would help? Try:
(dotimes (i 10 (finish-output)) (format t "~A~%" i)) (loop :for i :in '(1 2 3 4 5) :do (print i) :finally (finish-output))

sb-sys::serve-event (used by slime) is known to be broken on MSWin. If you want to help fix it, track down Alastair Bridgewater.
IIRC, this is broken because POSIX (read: real) OSs can call select() and friends on the same file descriptor used by read() and friends. MSWin uses one file handle for reading and a separate event handle for activity callbacks. SBCL was designed for a single file id. Some hacking required to attach event handles to file handles...
