Comment(by mevenson):

 The root of the problem seems to be that we have a bug somewhere in the
 primitives, probably in the truename, for Pathname that surfaces if
 *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* is set to a JAR-PATHNAME.

 Assume that we have a jar with an ASDF defintion at
 #P"jar:file:/Users/evenson/work/abcl/dist/abcl-contrib.jar!/jss/jss.asd".

 Then the following shows the bug:

 {{{
 CL-USER> (setf *default-pathname-defaults* "/Users/evenson/")
 "/Users/evenson/"
 CL-USER> (probe-file (merge-pathnames
 #P"jar:file:/Users/evenson/work/abcl/dist/abcl-contrib.jar!/jss/jss.asd"))
 #P"jar:file:/Users/evenson/work/abcl/dist/abcl-contrib.jar!/jss/jss.asd"
 CL-USER> (setf *default-pathname-defaults*
 #P"jar:file:/Users/evenson/work/abcl/dist/abcl-contrib.jar!/jss/")
 #P"jar:file:/Users/evenson/work/abcl/dist/abcl-contrib.jar!/jss/"
 CL-USER> (probe-file (merge-pathnames
 #P"jar:file:/Users/evenson/work/abcl/dist/abcl-contrib.jar!/jss/jss.asd"))
 NIL
 }}}
