This was a silly mistake of mine (empty list is eq? to an empty list, but
a list with anything in it creates a new unique cons cell, which is what
that code should have done).  Thanks for catching it! It's been
fixed and tagged. The new version 1.1 (with an additional hygiene
issue fixed) should be available for download shortly.

Cheers,
Peter
