I forgot to add: The reason I was confused in the beginning was that
CEDET actually does parse Elisp files. I just lately realized that this
feature is not enabled by default in Emacs proper. You have to manually
require it through

(require 'semantic/bovine/el)

Maybe Yidong disabled it during the initial merge because he found it
too intrusive. I'm not sure, which is why I'm CCing him. Maybe this is
something that could be changed?
