I just noticed soap-client is also an ELPA package; then there is the
additional complication that type-of will give the wrong answer in Emacs
versions 25 and older.  So you would need something like

    (let ((type (type-of element)))
      (if (eq type 'vector)
          (aref element 0) ; For Emacs 25 and earlier.
        type))

I was going to say, it's currently not enabled by default, but it looks
like it gets enabled automagically when you load code from the old
cl-defstruct:

    (defun cl-struct-define (name docstring parent type named slots children-sym
                                  tag print)
      (unless type
        ;; Legacy defstruct, using tagged vectors.  Enable backward compatibility.
        (cl-old-struct-compat-mode 1))
