Ok, here is the deal: symbol-list-or-symbol? will _always_ convert
something like xxx into a symbol list. The only time an actual symbol
arrives is when you write #'xxx and that is for compatibility reasons.
Why? Because it can't decide whether the argument is finished without
looking for . and if we have lookahead anyway...
At any rate: the error is slightly surprising to me but will likely
disappear in 2.17.16. But since prop will always be a list, the second
call will balk at seeing #color (color likely being undefined), and if
it were #'color, the whole c'1-\foo #'color #red -> would be discarded
as the ignored "music" of the first \foo call anyway.
So I still have a hard time reading any sense into that proposal.
