This worked out, thanks to both. Tried in my config, (kbd "<") evaluates to "<", while (kbd "C-<") evaluates to [67108924]. Maybe is this the cause of the difference? Single-char sequences evaluates to themselves, making them effectively suitable to be placed in the bindings list

Yes, I agree. Your answer is correct. But the "tolerance" (if that's what it is) of (kbd "<") is confusing, and can lead (did lead) to the confusion about (kbd "C-<"). (And I think "something you can pass to define-key" is itself misleading. This needs to be worded in some unambiguous way - in the doc, for example. It's possible to "pass" (kbd "C->") to define-key - it all depends on how one interprets "passing" something to a function.

@Drew Yes, I don't understand why it's working. But it's not evaluating (kbd "<") as a function call: you can pass (foo "<") and it “works” too in that it's equivalent to "<".

"What you're passing as the key is (kbd "<"), which is a 2-element list whose car is kbd. This is not a listed event type, so I would have expected an error." But the same applies to (kbd "<"), no? That too needs to be evaluated.
