Is it an option to change the C code? I think that the fault lies with
it, not with its caller. Except when using reference types, it should
be safe to make the assumption that variables in R are passed as if by
copy.

In the interest of getting a quick workaround, does
unserialize(serialize(L, NULL)) help? I would expect that to work unless
your list contains something like environments.
