Now, come on, you are talking of a small inconsistency between
interpreted and translated code, not about a gross dysfunction.
It is true that the translation property for $makelist is somewhat
incomplete in that it assumes that the bounds are numbers (the lower
bound a fixnum and the upper bound < most-positive-fixnum, actually),
while the interpreted version only wants their difference to be a
fixnum.
If, for the time being, you don't mind the latter restriction (which
your Maxima code can easily work around) it would be sufficient to
throw in a clause like
((= (1+ ,nn) ,|00|)
(make-mlist))
