Granted, but I don't see that as a drawback. The current notation is just as similar to C's pointer-dereference notation, but that hasn't led people to think that tail holds a pointer to the location where something should be stored. This would be a serious concern with notations that are common across many languages (eg "x*y" to mean multiplication, which isn't strictly what mathematics uses), but with language-specific notations, especially such brief ones, it's understood that there'll be duplication.
