I am not so sure. I think atan2(y,x) has an object reference count bug.
This is my guess ...

It fail inside RECT2SPHE (radian mode) because local variable is gone after leaving function.
(Object reference count drop to 0, object thus becomes "garbage")

It work with degrees because atan2 value multiply by factor, creating a new object.
EVAL work for the same reason (new object).

If true, it will fail with list too. Try it without EVAL, and RECT2SPHE return list instead.
Here it is, without EVAL(), usign atan(y,x), and returning a list
