This is really strange. As an experiment I just created a dirt-simple source file named "test1.lisp" in an isolated directory.
(require :cl-ppcre)
I suspect that this might be the source of your problems. If you have this kind of thing in your lisp code files, I can sort-of understand why you might be getting different answers, because this isn't an idiomatic way of doing things. Normally, you would require modules your system depends on from the defsystem, not from within the source files. (In fact, your example as you state it should not work at all, at least in a clean image, because the file test1.lisp as you describe it should not be compilable, as it contains read-time references to a package which is only available at load-time.
