I'm not totally clear on what that example is doing either. I just
grabbed it from cl-generic-tests.el because it was short and reproduced
the bug. But I think the idea is to let you define a method so that
(setf (foo x) y) does something analogous to (setf (cdr x) y).

Your scenario is another way to reproduce the bug. When Edebug
instruments something it attaches a cache of markers to the symbol. So
when two methods with the same name are instrumented, the cache of
markers pointing into the first method's source is replaced with a cache
of markers for the second method. And then if you debug into the first
method Edebug sees markers pointing at the wrong method and gets
confused. My patch works by making Edebug generate new symbols for each
method.
