ASDF-INSTALL:UNINSTALL doesn't remove .asd symlinks (Linux)

I have installed the latest CVS version of ASDF-INSTALL.  When I
uninstall an application with ASDF-INSTALL:UNINSTALL the source
directory is removed correctly, but not the symlink in the systems
directory.  My ~/.asdf-install contains:

  (setf asdf-install:*verify-gpg-signatures* nil)

  (setf asdf-install:*locations*
        '((#p"/home/paolo/src/"
           #p"/home/paolo/src/systems/"
           "Personal installation")))

  (setf asdf-install:*preferred-location* 1)

I use CMUCL Snapshot 2005-11 (19C) under Slackware Linux 10.0.

Everything else works fine with ASDF-INSTALL, except that
ASDF-INSTALL:*PREFERRED-LOCATION* is apparently ignored, e.g when I
evaluate, say:

  (asdf-install:install :cl-ppcre)

I get back the prompt, and nothing happens: the application is not
installed.  I have double checked that CL-PPCRE is not previously
installed.

If I do not set ASDF-INSTALL:*PREFERRED-LOCATION*, I correctly get the
location menu when installing an application.

What am I doing wrong?
