I am not sure if this is considered a "bug" or if it is simply expected 
behavior, so I thought I would ask the list for clarification.

I have this test which passes and shows the strange behavior that I am 
encountering:

(deftest update-in-and-remove
  ;; The leaf value becomes and empty list instead of [1 3]
  (is (= {:mykey {:myotherkey '()}}
         (update-in {:mykey {:myotherkey [1 2 3]}} [:mykey :myotherkey] 
remove #{2})))
  ;; Forcing a vector results in the behavior that I would expect
  (is (= {:mykey {:myotherkey [1 3]}}
         (update-in {:mykey {:myotherkey [1 2 3]}} [:mykey :myotherkey] 
(comp vec (partial remove #{2}))))))

I think this behavior is due to the use of apply in the definition of 
update-in and I think (but haven't tested) adding a partial to the 
non-recursive clause will fix this:
https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L5687

However, I don't want to submit a "fix" if this is the expected behavior. 
Thoughts?
