That's expected, the argument to eval can be anything, in particular,
something that is not written down in some buffer.  In the above case,
you call eval on a constant, and edebug can't know where this constant
comes from.

Paste the progn form somewhere and hit C-u C-M-x if you want to use
edebug.
