Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Didn't know if it's the way it's supposed to be, since not all implementations treat it the same way.

The issue came up when I was starting SBCL on a system where LC_CTYPE=C was set as default and doing
(ql:register-local-projects)

Took me quite some time to figure out the cause, so thought it might be helpful for others to handle it in a nicer way somewhere along the line. Probably handling the error in Quicklisp and giving an informative message is the most appropriate approach.
