The result is that the list

Ouch! That's gotta sting in the morning... o_O
I suppose what we could really do with is a combinator that runs a
monadic action N times, without actually constructing a list N elements
long in order to do so. Then it becomes blatently obvious that there's
nothing to share, and the problem goes away.
They say that in Haskell, "a list *is* a loop". Apparently, not always. ;-)
