David, thanks a lot for your help and your patience!
That was a bug I just introduced in ASDF:
I forgot to put an explicit :use in my (make-package ...),
naively thinking it would lead to an empty use-list as in SBCL, but
the CLHS says:
http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/iiip/doc/CommonLISP/HyperSpec/Body/fun_make-package.html
use---a list of package designators. The default is implementation-defined.
and in Lispworks, the default legitimately is
COMMON-LISP HARLEQUIN-COMMON-LISP LISPWORKS.
It should be fixed in 1.627. Can you give it a try?
My sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
