I don't know why you'd get that -- it would be helpful if you can
synthesize a minimal example.  I tried the following which worked
fine:

=> (defclass <a> ())
=> (defmethod (foo (x <a>)) (printf "a\n"))
=> (define-syntax deffoo
     (syntax-rules ()
       [(_ <c>) (defmethod (foo (x <c>)) (printf ">>> ~s\n" '<c>) (call-next-method))]))
=> (defclass <b> (<a>))
=> (deffoo <b>)
=> (foo (make <b>))
>>> <b>
a
=> (defclass <c> (<b>))
=> (deffoo <c>)
=> (foo (make <c>))
>>> <c>
>>> <b>
a
