Does the code actually break if *cdb-ascii-p* is set to nil for an ASCII 
grammar? I'm not familiar with that part of the code, but my expectation 
would be that the result would simply be less well-compressed CDB 
temporary binary files, in which case setting the default to nil would 
not be harmful.
