It was suggested by a tutorial. Maybe it worked better for a previous
version of ASDF. I also tried setting it to an explicit path -- same
error as before (not finding the .abcl file that it successfully
generated).

OK, when I do that, I get a complaint about "invalid source registry".
I gather that it needs to have an inheritance spec (I forget now why
that seems to be the case). Changed the file content to

  (:source-registry (:tree (:home “tmp/maxima-5.33.0/src/“)) :inherit-configuration)

and now the invalid source registry error has gone away but I still
get "component :MAXIMA not found". The maxima.asd is in that directory.

I guess there is an asdf-devel mailing list -- I'll try them now.
Sorry for the bother.

best
