Thanks for analyzing the situation.

    This is a very common error, perhaps the most common error when
    creating customize types.  It really should be explained better in the
    manual.  Anyone have a suggestion of where and how?

How about this?  Do it in the node Composite Types, in
lispref/customize.texi, and do it by (1) adding a subnode to explain
the problem and give an examplem and (2) adding a brief note and xref
to that subnode in the vairous table entries for the composite types
for which this is necessary.
