First of all, thanks for taking the trouble to report the problem, and thanks even more for distilling it down to a minimal case. What is happening is that the byte-compiler collects a list of defuns "not yet defined for runtime" as it goes along. This includes any functions defined within an `eval-when-compile', here the function `inner-a' mentioned in the `defadvice'. When `inner-a' is later defined, it is NOT taken off this list. This is the bug. The contents of that list are get output to the screen in the "might not be defined at runtime" warning message at the end of the compilation. The bug has just been fixed in the Emacs project's git repository, in branch emacs-25. We should be releasing Emacs 25.1 several months from now, probably in early summer 2016.
