Philippe,
as.list(NULL) is the same as list(), and that is what I think you should
be using in both cases. However, I do think that either both or neither
of your examples should work: my preference would be `neither' but as S
allows both it should be `either'.

Ok, I got it. I should have to define a as a list, in order to get a sane
behaviour... That makes sense:
> a <- as.list(NULL)
> a[["item"]] <- 1:3
> a$item
[1] 1 2 3
