The problem is the evaluation. PersistentTreeMap evaluates to the 
PersistentArrayMap (or PersistentHashMap).

user=> (class (to-sorted-map '(1 2 3 4)))
clojure.lang.PersistentTreeMap
user=> (class #sorted-map (1 2 3 4))
clojure.lang.PersistentArrayMap
user=> (class #sorted-map (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 
20))
clojure.lang.PersistentHashMap
user=> (read-string "#sorted-map (1 2 3 4)")
#sorted-map (1 2 3 4)
user=> #sorted-map (1 2 3 4)
{1 2, 3 4}
user=> (to-sorted-map '(1 2 3 4))
#sorted-map (1 2 3 4)
user=> (eval (to-sorted-map '(1 2 3 4)))
{1 2, 3 4}
