I am not using the latest SBCL, and mine is sbcl-1.0.1 which appears
to be later than yours, so you might try updating your sbcl. I'm not
having any problem. Here's my .sbclrc:

(in-package #:cl-user)
(require :asdf)
(push #p"/home/jcunningham/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(push #p"/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf-binary-locations)
(setf asdf:*source-to-target-mappings* 
  '((#p"/home/jcunningham/lib/sbcl/" nil) 
    (#p"/home/jcunningham/lib64/sbcl/" nil)))
(setf asdf:*centralize-lisp-binaries* t)
