No, it should also work for 'for' clauses, as documented in CL Hyperspec [1]

    for-as-clause::= {for | as} for-as-subclause {and for-as-subclause}*

and Emacs' CL manual [2]

    If you include several ‘for’ clauses in a row, they are treated
    sequentially (as if by ‘let*’ and ‘setq’).  You can instead use the
    word ‘and’ to link the clauses, in which case they are processed in
    parallel (as if by ‘let’ and ‘cl-psetq’).

The SBCL example is just missing the 'do', that's why it failed.
