And I do as you say during MKCL's bootstrap. But that is not the situation
of
interest here. What we have here is MKCL fully and properly built and
installed,
with its bundled ASDF version already loaded, attempting a "live upgrade" of
ASDF.

You got me to doubt myself so I went back to my original setup with ASDF
3.0.3.0.2
and replayed the whole scenario from there, making sure to remove the
'build/asdf.lisp'
file from the "live upgrade" directory first. I attached the transcript of
the REPL this gives
me.  As you can see from it, the 'build/asdf.lisp' gets recreated without
any explicit
call to "make" on my part.  This is not what happens when the bundled ASDF
is 3.1.2!
