Subject: bug#23523: 25.0.93; Around advice miscontrued as alias, but not always

Here's a short elisp snippet to try in an emacs -Q session:
=====
(defun foo (orig-fun &rest args)
(apply orig-fun args))
(advice-add 'report-emacs-bug :around #'foo)
(advice-add 'pop-to-mark-command :around #'foo)
=====
After evaluating the above, if I do C-h f report-emacs-bug, I get:
=====
report-emacs-bug is an alias for ‘report-emacs-bug’ in ‘emacsbug.el’.
It is bound to <menu-bar> <help-menu> <send-emacs-bug-report>.
(report-emacs-bug TOPIC &optional UNUSED)
Report a bug in GNU Emacs.
Prompts for bug subject. Leaves you in a mail buffer.
=====
But for C-h f pop-to-mark-command, I get:
=====
pop-to-mark-command is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
‘simple.el’.
(pop-to-mark-command)
:around advice: ‘foo’
Jump to mark, and pop a new position for mark off the ring.
(Does not affect global mark ring).
=====
I picked pop-to-mark-command just randomly. I noticed the misinformation
for report-emacs-bug (irony!) only. Then at random advised
pop-to-mark-command too, but emacs does not misunderstand that advice as
alias.
And here comes the twist.. After above, in the same session, once I do M-x
report-emacs-bug and then if I do C-h f report-emacs-bug, I then get:
=====
report-emacs-bug is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function
in ‘emacsbug.el’.
It is bound to <menu-bar> <help-menu> <send-emacs-bug-report>.
(report-emacs-bug TOPIC &optional UNUSED)
:around advice: ‘foo’
Report a bug in GNU Emacs.
Prompts for bug subject. Leaves you in a mail buffer.
=====
So what's the mystery? Emacs cannot tell if a function is advised until it
is evaluated and executed?
