Comment 2:

I am unable to reproduce this. Coverage works fine with examples.
Are you including an "Output:" comment in your example function? If not, the example
won't be executed as a test. Use "go test -v" to make sure your examples are being
executed.
Here's my successful test run:
~/src/covertest $ cat foo.go
package foo
import "fmt"
func Foo() {
    fmt.Println("yay")
}
~/src/covertest $ cat foo_test.go 
package foo
func ExampleFoo() {
    Foo()
    // Output: yay
}
~/src/covertest $ go test -v -cover
=== RUN: ExampleFoo
--- PASS: ExampleFoo (0.00s)
PASS
coverage: 100.0% of statements
ok      covertest   0.010s
