In the first call, arg is (TeX-read-key-val foo), which is interpreted
as a funcall of the CAR to the symbol value of the CDR.
In the second call, arg is (TeX-read-key-val (quote (("foo") ("bar")))).
Note that the list is quoted! To make both calls equivalent, don't
double-quote:
(TeX-parse-argument t '(TeX-read-key-val (("foo") ("bar"))))
It seems your coffee reservoirs are nearly empty. ;-)
