Meanwhile I would guess that installing the 'prev' version

I was in the process of doing this when I had the idea of
seeing whether CLISP version 2.41-2 was visible when "Hide
obsolete packages" was unchecked, so I cancelled, but by then
version 2.39-2 was already uninstalled. Unsurprisingly, this
ended the weird behavior. I couldn't figure out how to
reinstall version 2.39-2 to try my experiment (unchecking
"Hide obsolete packages" didn't reveal it) so I just went
ahead and installed version 2.41-2, which of course was my
original goal.
AFAIK the only way to install a package no longer listed on the mirrors
is to do an "Install from Local Directory" using either an old setup.ini
or one that has been modified to point at the old version (and of course
you need to already have the old package for this).
At any rate, thanks go to Brian for confirming this bug; at least we
know what the problem is, and of course how to work around it.
