Bug Description
As of 2019-04-23, SBCL uses ASDF 3.3.1 from November 2017, but ASDF 3.3.2 was released in May 2018 and 3.3.3 in March 2019, fixing many issues, including a few SBCL-specific ones. Please update to the latest ASDF release, whichever it may be by the time you close this bug. Note that ASDF 3.3.3 has notably been by included in CCL with no adverse reports and passes tests with cl-test-grid.

Each time ASDF is updated there are problems cropping up, some of which are not bugs but backwards incompatible changes. When somebody updates SBCL they may not want to update ASDF at the same time. With it being a third party project we cannot direct the same attention to quality or have the same policy towards backwards compatibility.
If anyone wants to update ASDF they can do it locally, to any version at any time, by loading it before the one bundled with SBCL.
