OK. Do you have anything else in your environment that would interfere?
  env | grep -i 'appdata|xdg_'

Can you (trace uiop:xdg-cache-home uiop:xdg-data-home uiop:getenv
uiop:resolve-location uiop:resolve-absolute-location
uiop:resolve-relative-location) in between loading asdf and using it
(with e.g. (asdf:make "asdf")) to narrow down what in
uiop/configuration.lisp is going awry for your cache configuration?

Thanks. Meanwhile, fixes for ECL, MKCL, Lispworks have pushed us to 3.1.5.10.

Usually, I would have recommended release.
Today, let's do master. :-(
(You can also use minimakefile, though it requires installing ccl or
massaging the scripts to use allegro instead)
