Your code cannot work: you are defining a new entry, you are not using
the entry of OCaml expressions, which is Pcaml.expr.

  $ cat foo.ml
  let add_infix lev op =
  EXTEND
    GLOBAL: Pcaml.expr;
    Pcaml.expr: LEVEL $lev$
      [ [ x = SELF; $op$; y = SELF -> <:expr< $lid:op$ $x$ $y$ >> ] ];
  END;;
  $ ocaml
	  Objective Caml version 3.04+11 (2002-05-16)
  
  # #load "camlp4o.cma";;
	  Camlp4s Parsing version 3.04+11
  
  # #load "pa_extend.cmo";;    
  # #load "q_MLast.cmo";;  
  # #use "foo.ml";;
  val add_infix : string -> string -> unit = <fun>

Type:
   Grammar.Entry.print Pcaml.expr;;
to see the current entry of expressions.

The available levels are "top", "expr1", ":=", "||", "&&", "<", "^",
"+", "*", "**", "unary minus", "apply", "label", ".", "~-", "simple".
They are the one you can use as first parameter of add_infix:

  # add_infix "*" "op1";;

If you type
   Grammar.Entry.print Pcaml.expr;;
then you see that the rule with "op1" has been added in the level "*".

  # let op1 x y = x + y + 1;;
  Toplevel input:
  # let op1 x y = x + y + 1;;
	^^^
  Parse error: 'module' uppercase identifier expected after 'let' (in
    [str_item])

Normal, since "op1" is now a keyword. Mmmm... the normal form should be:
   let (op1) x y = x + y + 1;;
But it does not work... this is a bug in Camlp4 that I am going to fix.

A solution should be to define it before the "add_infix"...

But, in the meantime, this works:
   # let \op1 x y = x + y + 1;;
   val op1 : int -> int -> int = <fun>
   # 3 op1 4;;
   - : int = 8
