I think the problem is with the original documentation function itself, 
not with advice.

M-x describe-function documentation yields

"documentation is a built-in function.
[Missing arglist.  Please make a bug report.]"

(as well as some garbage) in the x-enabled emacs 21.2-11, instead of

"documentation is a built-in function.
(documentation FUNCTION &optional RAW)"

as it should be (and is in emacs-nox and x-enabled emacs 21.2-9). I 
guess that advice is simply fooled by the erroneous arg-list that 
documentation reports.
