Thanks for the heads-up. trigsimp implements some simplifications
via defrule. I changed the way defrule & friends (defmatch,
tellsimp, tellsimpafter) handle return values (specifically,
there is a now a match-success flag separate from the
rule output).

src/trgsmp.lisp is a translation of share/trigonometry/trgsmp.mac
from 1985. Rather than attempt to patch it, I'm inclined
to cut out src/trgsmp.lisp and autoload trigsimp from
share/.../trgsmp.mac instead. I find that rtest3 is happy
again if set up trigsimp for autoload from trgsmp.mac.

Sorry for the hassle, and if anyone has a comment
on this point I'd be glad to hear it.
