Behaviour of logical pathnames with DIRECTORY is somewhat underspecified.
Given
(setf (logical-pathname-translations "foo")
`(("**;*.fasl.*" "/home/foo/faslcache/**/*.fasl")
("**;*.*.*" "/home/foo/**/*.*")))
and existence both
/home/foo/faslcache/bar/quux.fasl
/home/foo/bar/quux.fasl
should
(directory "foo:bar;x.fasl")
return both, or just the one in faslcache?
SBCL opts for both (modulo the aforementioned bug), other
implementations may do things differently.
Calling TRANSLATE-LOGICAL-PATHNAME first makes the answer unambiguous
-- just the faslcache one, thanks -- which is why I believe ASDF
should do that prior to calling DIRECTORY.
