[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
That patch is fine but perhaps incomplete, if we want (apply nil) to result in the same error when interpreted and byte-compiled.
Suggested test case attached.

The manual change is fine. Perhaps we should adopt a somewhat discouraging tone.
You could also say that (apply X) is defined as (apply (car X) (cdr X)), and X must be a cons.
