advice.el and bytecomp: Did something change recently?

[T.V Raman]

Context:

1. This is with emacs compiled from git @HEAD.
2. Emacspeak uses advice heavily (advice.el, not nadvice).
3. Until recently, advising functions that were loaded later still
worked,
4. EG:  Module emacspeak-advice.el advices vc-next-action and gets
loaded  before  vc.el.
5. Later, when vc.el gets loaded as a result of calling
vc-next-action, the advice would take effect automatically.

Now:

Since the last few days, (noticed it first yesterday  I think) the
above is no longer true.
I need to explicitly load vc.el and then emacspeak-advice.el  for the
advice on vc-next-action to take effect.
