I thought this was one possible problem but obviously this is not the one
you hit upon. (And I believe it still is a loophole worth closing).

It turns out that I have never taken time to do a complete and detailed
inspection of each and every location in the MKCL's code where
object up-to-date-ness is required, until now that is.  And what you hit
upon, trying to do your ASDF upgrade, revealed a good number of
gaping holes inside MKCL in that area.  So now I hope I have plugged
all of them properly without missing one.

The whole fix is in MKCL's git repo master head. I tried it on my copy
of ASDF syntax-control branch head and it worked OK. Could you
please confirm that it also works for you?

This will be part of MKCL 1.1.9 that I will push out the door as a released
version in a few days from now.

Thank you for your help solving this MKCL's issue.
