Comment(by ehuelsmann):

 Yes. Autoloading *is* to blame. The reasons are documented in [http://trac
 .common-
 lisp.net/armedbear/browser/trunk/abcl/src/org/armedbear/lisp/setf.lisp#L61
 setf.lisp line 61 through 67] and [http://trac.common-
 lisp.net/armedbear/browser/trunk/abcl/src/org/armedbear/lisp/setf.lisp#L93
 setf.lisp lines 93 through 98]:

 We used to assume we should resolve the symbol-function's autoloader.
 However, since DEFSETF and DEFINE-SETF-EXPANDER forms aren't required to
 be in the same file as the actual function, this doesn't work in the
 general case. Also: resolving every function for which a SETF form is
 encountered is undesirable because it can/will cause internal functions to
 be resolved before they're actually required. (This is the old strategy,
 btw, which caused circular dependencies in autoloaded code.)
