My understanding is that cl-test-grid tests Quicklisp, and that
Quicklisp does not run the bleeding edge of ASDF.  But I could be wrong.

For example, using the report URL you provided, I see in the cell for
ccl-1.9:

(LOAD city-hash FAIL) needs newer ASDF,
ASDF/FIND-SYSTEM:LOAD-SYSTEM-DEFINITION-ERROR : Error while trying to
load definition for system swap-bytes from pathname
/home/testgrid/cl-test-grid/work-dir/agent/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/swap-bytes-20151218-git/swap-bytes.asd:
You need ASDF >= 3.1 to load this system correctly.

Best,
