I can use a function's multiple returns as arguments to another function, but cannot use them as parameters in an initialization.

If it is intended, then the compiling error multiple-value ... in single-value context is misleading, because an array or struct initialization can indeed take multiple values.

It's intended. Changed this bug to be for a better compiler error message.
