This is with your edebug-specs that are commented in cl-macs loaded.
 
Here an example that loop understand but not edebug:

loop and edebug understand this:

        for alphaindex = (random* (length alph))
        for rand2 = (aref alph alphaindex)
        collect rand1 into ls
        collect rand2 into ls

loop understand this but not edebug: (Note where the for rand2 line is now)

        for alphaindex = (random* (length alph))
        collect rand1 into ls
        for rand2 = (aref alph alphaindex)
        collect rand2 into ls

The both do the same.

Another one:

loop and edebug understand this:

          with len = (length (window-list))
          for count from 1
          for w1 = (iter-next wlist)
          for b1 = (window-buffer w1)
          for s1 = (window-start w1)
          for w2 = (iter-next wlist)
          for b2 = (window-buffer w2)
          for s2 = (window-start w2)
          while (< count len)

loop understand this but not edebug: (note where the while line is now)

          with len = (length (window-list))
          for count from 1
          while (< count len)
          for w1 = (iter-next wlist)
          for b1 = (window-buffer w1)
          for s1 = (window-start w1)
          for w2 = (iter-next wlist)
          for b2 = (window-buffer w2)
          for s2 = (window-start w2)
          
Both give same result.
