Sorry for slow response, got little mail server issues.

I'm not that familiar with how ANSI CL should work in these cases so I just
compare each oddity how other implementations handle them. 

But I looked a bit further into this and noticed that issue seems to only affect
OpenBSD-current I run on my laptop.  When I evaluated `(DIRECTORY #P"/usr/local/bin/../lib/maven-core-*.jar")' 
with ABCL 1.3.2 on my OpenBSD 5.6 server, it returns nil. 
After updating my server to 5.7 and rebuilding ABCL, it still returns nil.

I'm a bit curious why my laptop running OpenBSD-current behaves differently.
I tried to manually build the ABCL from the source distribution without using
OpenBSD ports framework and I still hit the issue.

Here's the lisp implementation, its same on 5.7 and -current.
CL-USER(3): (LISP-IMPLEMENTATION-VERSION)
"1.3.2"
"OpenJDK_64-Bit_Server_VM-Oracle_Corporation-1.7.0_71-b14"
"amd64-OpenBSD-5.7"
CL-USER(4): 

Here's package info if its relevant:
$ pkg_info jdk
jdk-1.7.0.71v0
abcl-1.3.2
apache-ant-1.9.4
maven-3.2.3
