A cleanup item addressing this problem was created since the last meeting.
I think the issue name is VARIABLE-LIST-ASYMMETRY.

The proposal, which no one has objected to, is that PROG, LET, and DO --
which has its own inconsistency -- be upgraded to uniformly allow
   { var | (var [init       ]) }*         ; PROG, PROG*, LET, LET*
or { var | (var [init [step]]) }*         ; DO, DO*
