You mean during byte compilation? That is then a bug since the
documentation says it should work.


I just looked a bit more and it looks like the defadvice does not
result in that `widen' is advised at all after loading mumamo.el. As
far as I understand that is another bug.

Looking into this second bug I can see that `widen' does not get
advised if I do eval-buffer on mumamo.el. However if I go to the
defadvice and directly eval it with C-M-x or C-x C-e widen gets
advised (and things starts working).
