I think there is sth wrong with your installation or sth else. It
works for my Pylons app w/o problems.
I also can have nested defs/calls. I do use namespaces...
My working examples: with Mako:
<%def name="field(name)">
<tr>
<td style="white-space:nowrap;width:1%;">
${name}
</td>
<td style="white-space:nowrap;width:98%;">
${caller.body()}
</td>
</tr>
</%def>
<%call expr="field('First (Given) Name')">
<input class="form-text validator-required"
id="first_name" name="first_name"
title="First (Given) Name" type="text"
value="${c.first_name}"/>
</%call>
Output:
<tr>
<td style="white-space:nowrap;width:1%;">
First (Given) Name
</td>
<td style="white-space:nowrap;width:98%;">
<input class="form-text validator-required"
id="first_name" name="first_name"
title="First (Given) Name" type="text"
value=""/>
</td>
</tr>
