When I try to load it, SBCL is entirely unhappy about utilities.lisp
trying to do things in :cl, which is a locked package:

Lock on package COMMON-LISP violated when defining a
setf-expander for SUBSEQ.
[Condition of type SB-EXT:SYMBOL-PACKAGE-LOCKED-ERROR]

Like I said, this code is not officially released. That's one of the
reasons.

BTW, there I have uncovered at least one serious bug in the current
release of lexicons, so there's really no point in looking at it unless
you want to hack on it.

(Utilities used to be in its own package. The annoyance of having to
maintain the export list is one of the things that motivated me to write
lexicons.)

I've uploaded a new version of utilities that loads under both SBCL and
CLisp. (Whether it actually works or not is another question.)

Seriously, though, if you want it to Just Work you'll have to wait a day
or two.
