Sure. But it is better to cripple a feature out of my jde i (and
probably others) never use instead of changing load path (for older
semantic version) and restarting emacs whenever i want to use jde or
not...

BTW: working.el seems to have fun with duplicating messages and
confusing the user debugging it:
(progn
(message "One")
(message "Two")
(working-status-forms "Doing stuff" "done"
(working-status 10)
(working-status 80)
(working-status 90)
(working-status t))
(message "Three!"))
produces:
One
Two [2 times]
Three!

Same for me ;) That's why i stopped there with debugging. Further more,
it does work when you call that (senator-minor-mode 1) function by hand,
so there must be some side effect with the code calling it.

it could work to expand the macros into a temp buffer and edebug
there - but that is not "easy" either. to make it a bit easier:
(defun make-expanded-macro ()
"Treat the current `defun' around point as a macro
and expand it into a temp buffer."
(interactive)
(let (beg end expr)
(beginning-of-defun)
(setq beg (point))
(end-of-defun)
(setq end (point))
(setq expr (read (buffer-substring beg end)))
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*expanded-macros*")
(emacs-lisp-mode)
(goto-char (point-max))
(insert "\n\n\n"
(prin1-to-string (macroexpand expr))))
(pop-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "*expanded-macros*"))))
