Let me add this (from a debug session -- i hate those).

#0   APPLY {loc0=#<compiled-function 
system:universal-error-handler>,loc1=:error,loc2=nil,l...} [ihs=12]
#1   APPLY {loc0=#<compiled-function 
system:universal-error-handler>,loc1=:error,loc2=nil,l...} [ihs=11]
#2   LAMBDA {"/home/gdr/build/axiom/target/foo"=nil,} [ihs=8] 
#3   LOAD 
{loc0=#p"/home/gdr/build/axiom/target/foo.lsp",loc1=t,loc2=nil,loc3=:error,loc4=...}
 [ihs=7]
#4   EVAL {loc0=nil,loc1=nil,loc2=nil,loc3=#<compiled-function load>}
 [ihs=6]
#5   TOP-LEVEL 
{loc0=nil,loc1=0,loc2=0,loc3=nil,loc4=nil,loc5=nil,loc6=nil,loc7="/usr/local/lib...}
 [ihs=5]
#6   FUNCALL {loc0=#<compiled-function system:top-level>} [ihs=4]
NIL

So, it looks like some code effectively called the "real" load with the
wrong prefix.
