I've determined that the problem is that asdf/cffi didn't place the .dylib in a known location or (alternatively) specify the full path to the dylib when calling dlopen.

IOW, both ccl:open-shared-library and #_dlopen work correctly when given the full path, but for some reason asdf (presumably via cffi) is botching that somehow.

I just copied the dylib to /usr/lib/ and everything works fine.
