I think I've solved this one. The problem was an inline expansion of
(PROBE-FILE filename) into a C expression (cl_file_kind(filename) != Cnil).
This inline expansion was supposed to avoid the call to TRUENAME when the
true name of the file is not used (For instance, in an (IF ...) expresion
that only checks the existence of the file). However, it was not properly
defined and in the end it was used everywhere.
