SingleInteger? is a low level type. Attempting to use values above max is a user error. Such an error may be detected or may produce "correct" result or may lead to some weird problem seemingly unrelated to the error. Basically, using SingleInteger? is a promise by the user that values will stay within bounds. So do not lie to the compiler.

Concerning the results: I guess they are due to different Lisp implementations. SBCL used here by default is rather strict in error checking. AFAIK Clisp does not care, it produces "correct" results. With other (unsafe) settings in SBCL or with some other Lisp one can get silent corruption possibly leading to crash.
