Comment (by sjamaan):

 I think the problem is that {{{(square x)}}} returns bignums on 32-bit
 platforms, while binary-search assumes fixnums everywhere.

 The code checks that the sequence is within fixnum range, but it doesn't
 do so for the return value of {{{proc}}} in the loop (but still calls
 fixnum ops on it!)
