Right - you beat me to this:

https://people.freedesktop.org/~whot/wayland-doxygen/wayland/Server/structwl__listener.html

and

https://people.freedesktop.org/~whot/wayland-doxygen/wayland/Server/structwl__list.html

Unfortunately this issue is not easy to workaround. I'll make sure to 
create a JBS entry for it (we do have one, but it's probably not visible 
outside).

I'll also try to play with this a bit to see what can be done - with 
this issue sometimes it helps to allocate the inner struct first (e.g. 
wl_list), and then the one that depends on it (e.g. wl_listener).
