Remarkably, the CLHS entry for PROBE-FILE doesn't seem to mention *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* or MERGE-PATHNAMES, unlike OPEN which at least mentions the latter and implies its use. So that makes PROBE-FILE also subtly different from OPEN (assuming OPEN is unaffected -- is it? I have tested). ​http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_probe_.htm

In any case, this is probably a bug, and if not, a change that should be prominently documented.

This used to work.
