Does this still happen if you change this to:

   (define-method initialize ((x <foo>) args)
     (next-method)
     (set! (bar x) (list 42)))

?

This sounds like a programming error, not a goops error, on first
glance.  You have set the field to a constant list, then modified a
constant list, which is a no-no.  I haven't used goops much, though.
