The problem is that all four functions (and a few more defvars that the warning isn’t picking up) are within (when (featurep FEXP) ...) clauses. This means that when make-docfile.c looks through the ELC code, its generally stupid matching sees a (byte-code ...) for the entire form instead of separate #'defalias and #'defvar forms for each function and variable. One way to eliminate the error would be to move the featurep check at runtime, and throw an 'unimplemented error if it’s not available.
