I believe the story goes like so: The eval call here compiles a list of a function object and three numbers. The function object gets compiled to code which effectively calls readString on "#=(clojure.core$_PLUS_. )". (It so happens that print-dup knows how to handle functions; if it didn't, an exception would be thrown during compilation with the message "Can't embed object in code, maybe print-dup not defined: ...".) When the compiled code is executed, readString gets called to reconstruct the function, and since *read-eval* is false, this fails. +1 to setting *read-eval* to false by default, by the way.
