(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

`find-function-source-path' is now obsolete (`find-library-source-path'
is used instead), but there wasn't a case to reproduce the problem here.
Are there still problems in this area in recent Emacs versions?  If so,
do you have a recipe to reproduce the problem?
