Thanks for pinging me, but the patch does little to the problem I'm seeing.

Specifically, edebug-step-in doesn't work to step into a function call 
that's calling a generic method.

Instead, edebug simply quits and the execution of the current command 
continues.

Example:

1. Instrument xref-collect-references.

2. Type M-x xref-find-references.

3. When point reaches the semantic-symref-perform-search call, press 'i'.
