You're right about the namespace-qualification: I accidentally
macroexpanded with syntax-quote rather than quote. My mistake; the
actual expansion is the same, but without namespace-qualification.

Using (var ~fn-name) results in the same error, unfortunately. I think
now the attempted embedding of a delay into macro code is somewhere
else, but I don't know.
