This is correct, it will also happen in scripts if they are
auto-compiled, but you will only see it once on subsequent runs, since
macro-expansion doesn't need to happen again.

The fix is simple, and there is no harm in it, so I've pushed a fix to
stable-2.0.

Fair question. I have no idea about the answer, but I've not touched
this one. As a general principle, I wouldn't like to see us have a
separate macro for each of these.
