On the client/http side with Firebug and using TRACE, FORMAT and the
repl on the server side.

That's referring to weblocks.js.
You can just use Firebug, though.

Try (setf hunchentoot:*catch-errors-p* nil) before the error occurs.

PRINT doesn't terminate its output with a newline, thereby not
flushing the output buffer.
Use
(print "x")
(terpri)
or just
(format t "x~%")

Checkout BREAK.
