This turns out to be a bug that causes a macro substitution at the start
of a continuation line in a string to be ignored. (It's not noticing
that it is inside a string, and thinking that a line starting with an
upper case letter is a macro *definition*.) This will be fixed in the
next release. I can send you a patch if you don't want to wait.
