Probably what you want is g(t) := ''%o31 (two single quotes, not a
double quote).

Maxima does not evaluate the right hand side of a function definition
(nor the body of a lambda expression).
The right hand side is evaluated just once when the function is called.

Thanks for working on Clisp. I hope Maxima is useful to you.
