Sigh.  Even though things work for you in RC1, I'd like to create a hotfix 
that works for everyone.

Michael Ekstrand has sent me a pair of sample pages that should demonstrate 
the problem, but I've either not succeeded in reproducing the error, or I've 
not recognized what's gone wrong.  There's nothing on stdout/stderr, and 
nothing in the error log (using 2.7.1 plus the hotfix results in the same 
thing as using 2.7.1 alone).

This might be the best clue so far, actually.  This hints that the template 
containing the macros was "compiled" before the hotfix was loaded, but is 
being rendered after.  (The "version" here is the version of the bytecode 
language used; the hotfix updates the implementation from version 1.4 to 
version 1.5.)

I'll continue to look into this.
