Definitely seems so - if I load make-image.lisp from a repl it works,
if I paste the contents of make-image.lisp into a repl it breaks.

Possibly relevant information:

* I'm using debian sbcl, so there may be common-lisp-controller
weirdness going on (but I've also tried with ccl, which doesn't use
it).

* I'm deleting the fasls between tests, so it's rebuilding from
scratch each time (actually I can reproduce it just by touching
version.lisp).

* reload also doesn't work with the fasls deleted / version.lisp
touched.

So what I think is going on here is that loading make-image.lisp is
setting *load-pathname*, but asdf running compile-file is not.

I've just had a scan of the asdf docs and discovered
system-relative-pathname - perhaps we could use that instead?
