I expect to be able to emacs -q, make an org mode buffer containing that block, do ctrl-c c on it, and not have an error message pop up and fail to have any output. What is improper about it?

Yes, I agree. It will have to test if elements are listp or hline. > Besides, you > can't use cl-every unless Org drops backwards compatibility with older > Emacsen or mandates cl-lib to be present.
