FWIW, I still disagree. Technically, it might not "wrap" anything (in the sense that it isn't defined as a function returning another function - which is a narrow definition of a wrapper by the way), but semantically it does. To the non-expert programmer, it is a decorator like any other one. The fact that it is implemented differently from other decorators is not an excuse for it to follow different rules... Unless, of course, there is a good *semantic* reason for staticmethod not to mirror the __module__ attribute. (by the way, does the same apply to classmethod as well?)
