And

(macroexpand-all (eval-sexp-add-defvars (elisp--eval-defun-1 (macroexpand 
'(funcall 'mac/z)))))
=> (funcall 'mac/z)                                         

Which is what the bug reporter is wondering about.  The doc string says

--
Like ‘quote’, but preferred for objects which are functions.
--

And it's not quite like `quote', as the examples show us, and the
documentation should mention this.
