This looks like a shorter example...:

  arc> `(a . b)
  Error: "map: expects type <proper list> as 2nd argument, given: (a . b); other arguments were: #<procedure:/tmp/arc/ac.scm:241:14>"

I used slightly longer examples to show the difference when the list members were unquoted. I don't understand at all why it works, because as far as I can tell, the same code branch (that maps over the quasiquoted list) is invoked in both cases.
