Because of an arguably unfortunate choice of return values from
compile-files, as specificed by ansi.  asdf thinks the compilation
failed because compile-file returned non-NIL for its tertiary
("failure-p") value.  From the Hyperspec -

  The tertiary value, failure-p, is false if no conditions of type
  error or warning (other than style-warning) were detected by the
  compiler, and true otherwise.

If you want to customise this behaviour (not a completely uncommon
desire), see asdf:*compile-file-failure-behaviour*
