Aha!

Sorry to spoil the fun, but you indeed mucked up the gh_list call.
SCM_EOL *is* the canonical empty list, so you should be doing

    gh_make_vector (gh_int2scm (x), SCM_EOL);

gh_list is a var_args functions, as you might know, but the end of the
arguments is not marked by SCM_EOL (which is a very valid thing to
include in a list), but by SCM_UNDEFINED.  So

    SCM_EOL == gh_list (SCM_UNDEFINED)

cheers,
