So, IIUC the startup doesn't signal an error (hence appears to proceed
correctly) and the problem only appears when you later do `M-x sly` (or
equivalent)?

The above error suggests that the underlying problem may be that the
quickstart file failed to add the relevant directory to `load-path`.

I'll take a look at it.
In case it's relevant, could you say where you got those packages from?
