Thank you for taking the time to provide this example. If you look
back you may notice I've already acknowledged that there is indeed
utility in 0 length vectors, e.g.:
,----

`----
And, I gave an example of the pathology:
,----
| (let* ((ab (make-bool-vector 1 t))
| (abeq (cons ab ab)))
| (concat (car abeq) (cdr abeq)))
| ;
| ;=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integerp t)

Where is the boole-vector ???
(substring (make-bool-vector 18 t) 0)
;=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp #&18"\377\377")
My question was _specifcally_ w/re to bool-vectors
one _can not_ take the substring of a bool-vector.

FWIW, your friendly (mis)interpreation of the issue helps bolster my
position... Which is (in part) that it isn't at all obvious that a
bool-vector is not _really_ a vector and behaves differently in most
respects from other the vector-likes.
Your example works for neither 0 length bool-vectors:
(apply 'vconcat (split-vec (make-bool-vector 0 t) 9))
;=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp #&0"")
Nor the less pathological variety:
(apply 'vconcat (split-vec (make-bool-vector 18 t) 9))
;=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp #&18"\377\377")
