It's very possible that the upgrade doesn't work well on CMUCL.
I realize that the test-upgrade target in the Makefile
doesn't try loading asdf the asdf way.
I probably wrote it before I changed asdf.asd to load-source-op asdf.lisp
before it will compile and load it. Sigh. More tests needed.

You can try modifying on #+cmu the behavior for redefined-functions from
    (ensure-fmakunbound p redefined-functions)
to
    (ensure-unintern p redefined-functions)
and see if it works better.

In any case, and even if this workaround works,
it still sounds like a bug in CMUCL.
