It's a bug; the MLTON_POINTER signature hasn't been exported.  Although,
it hasn't been documented either.

I'll check in a fix shortly.  To make progress without upgrading, it
should suffice to find

  basis-library/libs/basis-2002/top-level/top-level.sml
and add
  signature MLTON_POINTER = MLTON_POINTER
