Oh, it's much worse than anyone has mentioned yet. The whole (def primes ...) bit is also a problem. What you are saying to the compiler is "create a var named primes and assign it this lazy-seq...", and then while defining that lazy seq you are creating closures that use "primes". That sort of circular referencing is not only not recommended for code clarity reasons, but also a problem because parts of the code are delayed.
What you are attempting to do is something akin to this: (def foo (fn [] (foo))) Which makes no sense at all. This is pretty much what Clojure lazy seqs are, a list who's contents are delayed via a closure. So yes, I would say most Clojure programmers are completely fine with this, as no one writes Clojure code in a self-referential way like this. Not only is it completely undefined, it's also quite hard to understand.
