This doesn't look like the kind of bug that should be platform-specific.
Do you have any kind of startup file, that would cause
some asdf-related code to be loaded before the test starts?
What if you invoke abcl with --noinit --nosystem?
Try to pull, the new Makefile does that...

Is asdf somehow already loaded before then?
What if you (find-package "ASDF") ?

Indeed, if I explicitly (require "asdf") before I (load "tmp/asdf-1.369"),
I can reproduce the issue.

Betting markets, and speculative markets more generally, seem to do very well
at aggregating information. To have a say in a speculative market, you have to
"put your money where your mouth is." Those who know they are not relevant
experts shut up, and those who do not know this eventually lose their money,
and then shut up. Speculative markets in essence offer to pay anyone who sees
a bias in current market prices to come and correct that bias. — R. Hanson
