 Fix vector initialization for lists of records with optional types.

 If possible the list elements now get promoted to the yield type of the
 vector.  There was also a problem with the value returned by the record
 constructor expression's eval being completely unref'd since the vector
 element assignment function doesn't ref the element -- so I changed it
 to ref values if they just constructed before assigning them to the
 vector.

 Addresses #485.
