Wow, it displays the warning but still loads asdf.asd.
That's not only a bug, it's a regression since 3.0.2, introduced in
cbca8e6f (3.0.2.12).

Thanks for reporting the bug.

No bug:
CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=~/cl/fare-csv:/usr/share/common-lisp/source//
rlwrap cmucl -noinit -load ~/cl/asdf/build/asdf-3.0.2.lisp -eval
'(asdf:load-system :asdf)'

Bug:
CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=~/cl/fare-csv:/usr/share/common-lisp/source//
rlwrap cmucl -noinit -load ~/cl/asdf/build/asdf-3.0.3.lisp -eval
'(asdf:load-system :asdf)'

Fix pushed in 3.1.0.47.

An atheist doesn't have to be someone who thinks he has a proof that there
can't be a god. He only has to be someone who believes that the evidence on
the God question is at a similar level to the evidence on the werewolf
question.  — John McCarthy
