No I don't have a fix for this.
`add-function' is designed to work on places that only hold functions,
so any other value (such as nil) will create problems.
IOW a variable that can hold "either nil or a function" is not something
that add-function supports.
I guess we could treat nil as an alias for `ignore' in the "proxy
function", which would fix this particular issue. See patch below.
But I don't intend to handle all the cases in which a "nil function" can
show up. Many/most uses of `foo-function' actually give a special
meaning to nil which is different from `ignore'.
So I'm not sure we should cater to this particular case.

That looks like a good workaround.
