I have good news: The attached patch (to use, replace patch.lisp with it 
and compile & load it before running your application) removes that 
error message, along with these changes:

  * Allows display/editing of Korean (and other international) characters
    in climxm.
    If a font is available for the required registry/encoding, it will be
    loaded and available for text fields.

  * Gets the correct string value from text fields containing
    international characters.

  * Allows the locale to be set via (setf excl:*locale* ...) or via
    -locale on the command line. This makes the previous LET workaround
    unnecessary.

It is still required that you use an allegro- and libc-compatible locale 
specification. I'll work on the compatibility check next. In any case, I 
recommend using a UTF-8 locale.

Good luck,
Andreas.
