I've been noticing that for some time. I'm sure it is a related symptom. 
Slime thinks that's where regex-apropos is defined. In fact, it's in its 
normal quicklisp location. the source file given is the code I loaded 
the ftis-v43 package from within. And that package includes cl-ppcre and 
everything else in its definition.

For example, if put point on a call like this (cl-ppcre:scan re "some 
text") - on the "scan" I mean - and press C-c,d,d it shows me the 
docstring as it should, but shows the source location - again - as that 
same test-model.lisp source file.
