OK, this may (or may not) fall into the idiot category.

The problem is related to loading the system.

Call my system with the bug "FOO".
What I have been doing forever up to this point,
is (asdf:compile-system :foo :force t)
and then proceeding to hacking.

The bug was that some methods did not get loaded.
Very odd, and depends on the order of method definition.
In some reduced versions of the system, neither method gets loaded.
At no point in any scenario are there any compiler warnings or errors at 
all.

If I call an explicit (asdf:load-system :foo)
after the compile step, and then hack,
then everything works without any weirdness or ordering.

load-system just returns T seemingly without any file IO or anything.
