Hummm, interesting, see:

;; 1 time
M-:
(progn
   (setq xxx (copy-sequence vc-handled-backends))
   (setq xxx (nconc '(Hg) (delq 'Hg xxx)))
   xxx)
RET
==> (Hg RCS CVS SCCS Bzr Git Arch MCVS)


;; 2 times
M-:
(progn
   (setq xxx (copy-sequence vc-handled-backends))
   (setq xxx (nconc '(Hg) (delq 'Hg xxx)))
   (setq xxx (nconc '(Hg) (delq 'Hg xxx)))
   xxx)
RET
==> (Hg RCS CVS SCCS Bzr Git Arch MCVS)


;; 3 times
M-:
(progn
   (setq xxx (copy-sequence vc-handled-backends))
   (setq xxx (nconc '(Hg) (delq 'Hg xxx)))
   (setq xxx (nconc '(Hg) (delq 'Hg xxx)))
   (setq xxx (nconc '(Hg) (delq 'Hg xxx)))
   xxx)
RET
==> (Hg RCS CVS SCCS Bzr Git Arch MCVS)


;; dotimes
M-:
(progn
   (setq xxx (copy-sequence vc-handled-backends))
   (dotimes (i 3)
     (setq xxx (nconc '(Hg) (delq 'Hg xxx))))
   xxx)
RET
==> INFINITE LOOP!!!! ?
