It doesn't? What Texinfo source did you try, and what did makeinfo
moan about? Your example, slightly modified below, works for me.

If by ``ignoring'' you mean that it should leave it alone in
macro-expanded source, then try this:
@alias angles = r
or something similarly no-op'ish, like
@alias angles = w
Here's an example that works for me with "makeinfo --iftex":
\input texinfo
@setfilename yyy
@ifnottex
@macro angles{text}
<\text\>
@end macro
@end ifnottex
@tex
@macro angles{text}
\\angleleft \text\ \\angleright
@end macro
@end tex
This is a @angles{test}.
@table @asis
@item This is a @angles{test}.
@end table
@bye
