So I guess the answer is "don't do that then", at least for now.
Putting your startup call in a :after method on asdf:perform doesn't
seem to work either, but deferring the startup into a thread of its
own (i.e., instead of a toplevel (startup) do (make-thread 'startup))
lets the locks all get released.
