weirdness with compile-op and retry restart

[Attila Lendvai]

dear devs,

i have a system with a file that has a compilation error. i try to load it:

(asdf:load-system :hu.dwim.web-server.application.test)

it leads to an error with the following restart (notice its unusual
wording, and that it's about the entire system, not just that one
source file):

 6: RETRY Retry completing compilation for #<HU.DWIM.TEST-SYSTEM
"hu.dwim.web-server.application.test">.

the rest FTR:

 5: ACCEPT Continue, treating completing compilation for
#<HU.DWIM.TEST-SYSTEM "hu.dwim.web-server.application.test"> as having
been successful.

 4: RETRY Retry ASDF operation.

 3: CLEAR-CONFIGURATION-AND-RETRY Retry ASDF operation after resetting
the configuration.

if i touch the file and select the restart, then cl:compile-file
doesn't get called and no compilation seems to happen. there used to
be a restart to recompile the single source file that has failed.

i'm on ASDF 3.2.1 and the very latest SBCL (i'm testing it for the
current freeze)

note: these systems have some customizations from hu.dwim.asdf, but
not much changed there recently.

is this something obvious that i'm failing to see, or should i dig
deeper? what else would help?

it's not a show-stopper for me, so feel free to ignore this. i'm
writing this up more as offering help than asking for help.

thanks for your time,
