Nothing more to add, other than the fact that I'm also bitten by this
every once in a while.  I'm not sure what could be done about it, tho,
since I'm pretty sure I'd get bitten occasionally no matter what
semantics we pick.

Maybe C-M-x should display visually what it evaluated?

And maybe there sound be some way to force a particular choice (maybe
using the region)?
