That's a simple bug in your code.  `call-next-method' is not a function
of cl-defmethod (it's a compatibility function of eieio-compat, IOW only
usable inside an EIEIO `defmethod').  Also, use #' rather than ' to
quote the function symbol since those function are lexically scoped,
which can't work for functions that are quoted with a single quote.
