Indeed.  But I don't think advice.el should handle this case.
IOW the way I see it there are 2 ways to fix this problem:
- Change the default value so it's always a function.
- Make sure all the functions you add use either :override or :around
  and check that the orig is not nil before calling it.

Obviously, the first option is much better, which is why I've been
changing various foo-function variables so that their default value is
not nil.
