It should, I'd think -- the method suggested for using lambda to do it
is to construct a lambda expression at runtime, e.g.,

   (defun curry (fun &rest args)
       `(lambda (&rest user-args) (apply #',fun ,@args user-args)))

So currying a curried function does work, if rather `consily':

   (curry (curry 'concat "a" "b") "x" "y")
   => (lambda (&rest user-args)
        (apply (function
                (lambda (&rest user-args)
                  (apply (function concat) "a" "b" user-args)))
               "x" "y" user-args))

   (mapcar (curry (curry 'concat "a" "b") "x" "y") '("p" "q"))
   => ("abxyp" "abxyq")
