I inadvertently stripped off the namespace part of my ns macro, so that it was (ns (:use .... Clearly a user error, but an easy one. However, the result (from the REPL or the AOT compiler) was not ideal:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.PersistentList cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Named
	at clojure.core$name.invoke(core.clj:1489)

The problem here is that there is no indication of what file was being loaded and compiled at the time of the error. Since I was in the middle of refactoring a big swath of code, I had some work to do to track down which file I had mangled.

I would like to see a little more logging to the System/err to identify what resource file was being read and compiled by the compiler at the time of the exception.
