[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
From: Eli Zaretskii <eliz <at> gnu.org>
To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org, Andrea Corallo <akrl <at> sdf.org>
Subject: 29.0.50; "Autoloaded" information lost in native compilation?
Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2022 19:10:03 +0300
To reproduce:

  emacs -Q
  C-h f rmail-movemail-variant-p RET

(or any other autoloaded function).  Assuming that the function's .el
file was already natively compiled to produce a .eln file, the
"autoloaded" part will not be shown in the *Help* buffer, Emacs will
only say that this is a native-compiled function.

Is it possible to resurrect this information from natively-compiled
Lisp code?  If not, what would have to be done to include this
information (and how does auto-loading works if the information is
lost in the first place)?

No, you are reproducing correctly.  It's also seems to be fixed on the
emacs-29 branch, so I will close the bug.  Sorry for not
double-checking before I pinged you.
