You're using it wrong.

elisp "Composite Types"

`(set TYPES...)'
     The value must be a list, and each element of the list must match
     one of the TYPES specified.[...]
     It is not possible to specify two different elements that match
     the same one of TYPES.

You probably want const rather than symbol.
