The problem also comes up with tl (and seq).
\RequirePackage{expl3}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\tl_put_right:cn { l_tl } { \boom }
\tl_use:c { l_tl }
gives
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
\l_tl ->\l_tl
\boom
But \tl_show:c { l_tl } shows "\l_tl \boom" so experts can understand
what's going on. Not sure what should be done, since adding a check
to all \tl_put_right:cn seems like a rather large cost.
