OK, I know what's going on with the file-errors.  The problem is that
ASDF now by default uses asdf-binary-locations and relocates binaries
into different locations (this is necessary so that the same source
files can be compiled into, e.g., both SBCL and ACL, both of which apply
the .fasl extension to the compiler's outputs).

This means that *load-pathname* cannot be used raw as a way of finding
the .json data files.

I have a patch to propose that gets around this by recording
*load-truename* inside the .asd file (which is not moved) instead of
inside the .lisp files.

Patch will follow,
