S[i] has a length so it is a sequence,
Yet it can type as an atom.

Not so. length() simply returns 1 if the object is not a sequence. This change was made for the same reason we are discussing changing append()/prepend() - so to not fix them as well would be to leave the language in an inconsistent state.
