You're misinterpreting the error message. It's not trying to tell you
that the parameters to loop should be a vector - it's trying to tell
you that the symbol "loop" was used where you should have used a
vector. Try this:

user=> (defn foo (loop [] 1))
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter declaration loop should
be a vector (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)

user=> (defn foo (xyz [] 1))
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter declaration xyz should
be a vector (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)

You're hitting this line from core.clj (the very last line,
coincidentally):

(throw (IllegalArgumentException. (str "Parameter declaration " (first
bad-args) " should be a vector")))

I have no idea about the line-numbering thing, though.
