That's not a bug, but a feature.

I cannot think of any reason why one would regularly use the prefix arg
for erl-find-source-under-point. All it does is prompt for the function
to look up. erl-find-mod does the same thing, and without requiring a
prefix arg, and hence wouldn't suffer from the reported problem.
