(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

This is bee fixed in recent Emacs version by introducing the following
convention:

(dolist (symbol '( ignore-errors
                   xxx
                   yyy)))

That is, a space after the opening parenthesis to signal that it's a
list and not code.

I'm therefore closing this bug report.
