I'm misinterpreting nothing. It may be misstating, however.

It looks like it is indeed misstating then (albeit accidentally, in
the way of computers).

How about

(throw (IllegalArgumentException. (str "Parameter declaration:
expected a vector, saw \"" (first bad-args) "\" instead.")))

=>

Parameter declaration: expected a vector, saw "loop" instead.

That one's crystal clear no matter what symbol happens to come next
after the missing argvec.
