Hmm, if it's an int-list then the subsequent dup-elimination loop is
also wrong, and for that matter I don't think the preceding lines
would have worked.

The code coverage report shows that we *do* have tests that run
through this code, so the existing typing is okay in the test cases
we have. I'm guessing the real problem is that something upstream is
generating the wrong type of list in this example.
