It could be argued that joining a single-element list doesn't involve using the separator at all, so its type shouldn't matter.

It could also be argued that joining with an empty string, of whatever flavour, is equivalent to just concatenating the list elements with no separator, so again the type of the separator shouldn't matter.

Since such arguments wouldn't prevail, I'd rather not bother.
