Hi Robert,

thanks for CCing me.

I don't have a lot of time right now, but I took a look at the code in
printing.el and I don't really understand why its using :inline t
when creating the menu-choice widget, since the values seem to be
strings or symbols.  That is, nothing that needs to be inlined.

I wasn't aware of this breakage, of course, but it looks like I
should've made the code be more defensive (i.e., use car-safe instead of
car).

If I get more time, I'll try to see if that's a solution here.
