Sorry, my mistake. In fact, this topic does tell about when advice won't work, but it tells exactly opposite to what actually happens: "Calls to the primitive from Lisp code will take note of the advice, but calls from C code will ignore the advice." Now, in my case `nreverse' is called from Lisp code, not from C code, so according to the manual advice must work, right? And there is no single word about differences in behavior due to byte-compiling. -- Sergei.
