Looks to me like old versions of fasl files are lying around from the
old install of sbcl. Sbcl has upgraded their fasl file format, and
can't load the old ones. The offending package is the nregex package
which isn't part of maxima. 

I'd say uninstall sbcl and reinstall it. If that doesn't work, you may
have to clean up all the fasl files by hand or uninstall and reinstall
nregex at least.
