Warning on using any list-y op on a scalar seems like a good idea, and the fact that the idea arose after a perl5 misunderstanding now looks like a "red herring". That is, while warning on "only" reverse-on-a-scalar may be a bad idea and perl5 specific, I'd vote for warning on all apparent mis-uses of list ops on scalars as a generally helpful.
