I expect to be able to emacs -q, make an org mode buffer containing 
that block, do ctrl-c c on it, and not have an error message pop up and
fail to have any output. What is improper about it? Would it be better
if org did not try to format it as a table?

Yes, I agree. It will have to test if elements are listp or hline.

I forgot about the multiple parts of cl. I originally wrote it without,
and can change it.
