I had a quick look on github, here are the relevant patches that look
like they might be the problem:

Hello, Nic.
I know it's over three years ago, but .....

I don't have an Emacs 24.1, and have difficulty building one. So I've
tried these things out on 23.2 and 24.2. My comments below apply
equally to both versions.
When I try to instrument the `defun*' form without having done the
`require', the instrumentation process does indeed enter edebug as
though it were a defvar. After doing the `require', it instruments the
`defun*' properly.

On evaluating (symbol-function 'nic-test-1), I get this form:
(lambda (a) (block nic-test-1 (edebug-enter (quote nic-test-1) (list a)
(function (lambda nil 10)))))
, which shows that the original form _has_ been instrumented. This is
not apparent on running it, though, because there is no "stop point"
anywhere in the function for edbug to stop at. When "10" is replaced by
"a", the instrumented form looks like:
(lambda (a) (block nic-test-2 (edebug-enter (quote nic-test-2) (list a)
(function (lambda nil (edebug-after 0 0 a))))))
; on running this, edebug does stop inside the function, just after
evaluating "a".

Sadly, these patches are now lost forever. :-(. This is an example of
why 40 hex-digit hashes are a poor identifier. With a savannah (bzr)
revision number, or a date together with commit message text, they could
have been found easily.

There may have been a bug here, in Emacs 24.1. I don't think there was
in either 23.2 or 24.2. So I'm closing this bug.
