A little time with the Clojure source and a debugger has been
illuminating.
In genclass.clj:gen-interface, the line:
(let [options-map (apply hash-map options)
results in this value for options-map:
{:methods [[(quote foo) [] []]], :name mypkg.ICompileTest}
It looks like "(quote foo)" is being taken as the literal string name,
rather than evaluating to "foo". And it happens that the hex ascii in
the generated method name translates to: [](quote foo).
Seems suspiciously like a macro-time vs fn-time thing... I will submit
an issue on this & see if I can work out a patch.
