Actually, I see what you mean by improper.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix error prone babel table output format detection
* lisp/ob-core.el: Test that all elements are in a list are lists or
'hline instead of just the first.
org-babel table output uses different formatting for a list of lists,
but detects it incorrectly causing an error, as in this example:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
'((1) 2)
#+end_src
