It's not autoloaded or compdef functions that don't work;
% whence -v _zattr
_zattr is a shell function from
/usr/local/share/zsh/5.0.7-dev-2/functions.zwc/_zattr

but rather, things that redefine themselves from within the function
definition when run that don't;
% grep '^_git()' **/_git
_git() {

% cat foo.z

bar() {}
baz() {baz() {}; baz}

% source foo.z
% whence -v bar baz
bar is a shell function from foo.z
baz is a shell function from foo.z
% bar; baz
% whence -v bar baz
bar is a shell function from foo.z
baz is a shell function
