I think I may have a clue. "remove-keys" is defined in asdf 2 and used
in asdf-bundle. These two are shipped in contrib/asdf:
ll contrib/asdf/ll contrib/asdf/

-rw-r--r--  1 fbissey fbissey  41K Dec  8 10:01 asdf.texinfo

asdf-ecl.lisp is historic but not used. asdf-bundle in this source is supposed
to used against asdf as shipped in this version of ecls.
The two files are used when building asdf as shipped by ecls, from
src/compile.lisp.in:
;;;
;;; * ASDF
;;;
#+WANTS-ASDF
(build-module "asdf"
               '("ext:asdf;asdf.lisp"
                 "ext:asdf;asdf-bundle.lisp")
               :dir "build:ext;"
               :prefix "EXT"
               :builtin #+:BUILTIN-ASDF t #-:BUILTIN-ASDF nil)

asdf 3.0 includes asdf-bundle but here when building we mix incompatible
versions. A first step will be to patch src/compile.lisp.in not to add
asdf-bundle.lisp when building the asdf module for ecls. That may not
solve everything but that would be a first step in the right direction.
