Hmmm, OK, good to know that then, but 'defadvice' feels strange,
what's the problem
with using  a combo of 'fset', 'symbol-function' and 'unwind-protect'?
Something like

(defun foo ()
  (message "foo"))

(defun meta-foo ()
  (foo))

(let ((saved (symbol-function 'foo)))
  (unwind-protect
      (progn
        (fset 'foo #'(lambda ()
                       (message "bar!")))
        (meta-foo))
    (fset 'foo saved)))
