Hi Alex,

I confirm was bug#40620 and should be fixed by now.  The bug was
introduced by 6e09597e27.  '$' is replaced by the reader with
`load-file-name' value (and in this branch ATM by load-true-file-name).
This last one I managed to forget to set it were should have been.

Generally speaking I'm not sure having `load-true-file-name' and
`load-file-name' is the nicest design but this was motivated by
bug#40099 (glab :)
