Could it be that the `quote' just takes one argument?

Indeed.  Is it a bug that quote does not signal "Wrong number of
arguments"?  I know that special forms do not necessarily evaluate their
arguments, but neither do macros and eval/apply manages to make sure
that the number of supplied arguments conforms to a macro's argument
list.
