I would try to avoid last and but-last as they work in linear time. How about
something like this?
(defn congeal-consecutives [coll]
(when (seq coll)
(let [[_ group res] (reduce (fn [[succ group res] n]
(if (== succ n)
[(inc n) (conj group n) res]
[(inc n) [n] (conj res group)]))
[(nth coll 0) [] []]
coll)]
(conj res group))))
