No. You should try setting the variable *read-default-float-format* in
the toplevel (tpl) package instead; you can use tpl:setq-default for
this. Also try setting excl::*daylight-savings-time-observed-p* to
`t'. Odd perhaps, none the less, this seems to make it work for me.
< What am I doing wrong?
I believe it sets this value
(common-lisp-user::*read-default-float-format*)
based on tpl:... when it starts; or something like this - I honostly
forget the whole story and am too tired to look it up right now.

Try using the following to dump an image - it has a nicer interface
and lots of options to play with.
(excl:build-lisp-image #p"name.core.whatever"
:dribble-file #p"dump.txt"
:internal-debug #p"build.lisp"
:verbose t)
It logs everything to file so that you can see what happened - pretty
nify.
