Ok, I don't know why I didn't notice this before... but it's not over yet.

There is another -- very similar -- issue that causes trouble if there
are EQL method specialized on the system in the .asd file for the
system in question ... not exactly a rarity.

Try with ITERATE. It recurses endlessly with 2.015.2 between local
installation and Quicklisp one.

The proximate casue is (FIND-SYSTEM :iterate): when the non-quicklisp
.asd is processed, those methods find the Quicklisp definitions, and
vice versa.
