Thanks, but it does not look right.  We can assume v1 and v2 are 16 bit signed 
integers (X coordinates).  In general, when data is a CONS, it must be two 16 
bit numbers.
So (v1 << 16) | v2 is just a way of stuffing two signed 16 bits into 32 bits.
But when v2 is long,  (v2 & 0xffff) looses the sign bit, as the code is now.

I don't know why the range X_LONG_(MIN|MAX) >> 16 is relevant here, it is way 
too large.
Remember, val can only be 32 bit, so X_LONG_MAX >> 16 can in it self be 48 bits.
Maybe just convert v1 and v2 to two signed 16 bit numbers (int16_t?) and shift?
