That is not the plan that ASDF is going to perform.

Suggestion:  if you want to know exactly what ASDF is going to do, try

(ASDF:OOS 'ASDF:LOAD-OP "my-system-name" :force t)

This will return the plan as its second return value, so you can see the
plan.

ALL OF THE ACTIONS IN THE PLAN WILL BE DONE IN THE SCOPE OF A *SINGLE*
WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT.
