SI-7974 Fix over-eager optimization of Symbol literals

A classic mistake of discarding a non-trivial qualifier.

We actually should have fixed this before merging #3149, as it
was raised in review, but I suppose we got too caught up in the
difficulty of resolving the right overload of `Symbol_apply` that we
forgot.
