I don’t think this is true:  COMPILE-FILE should actually capture the current package when COMPILE-FILE is invoked, arranging to have this package present when LOAD occurs.  [An example of this][1] works on SBCL/CCL but fails on ABCL even with all of your suggestions.  Please correct me if you believe this isn’t the case.

By [explicitly putting an IN-PACKAGE form in our fasl prologue which includes the value of the package that COMPILE-FILE is invoked within, I am able to make all my current tests pass.

The new behavior is present in [pull][353].  I am going for a walk while I let the CI do its thing, pondering if I am really testing all the cases, but anticipate merging a consolidated version later today.
