That's a bug. I don't know anything about it, though.
It may have already existed, or I may have broken something when
moving the restarts to their own function.

They work properly. They are just not configured the way you'd like.

During testing, I recently changed the compile script from
"always compile asdf.lisp" to "only compile it if it hasn't changed",
with the output in asdf-*implementation*.lisp, to speed up testing
at a time I was doing lots of it.

Since the asdf fasl name only included the implementation name,
I decided that it didn't make sense to add more distinctions
to the other fasl names, and configured the output-translations accordingly.

To make tests from clean, you can rm -rf asdf/tmp/
