Hi Tom,

I have a patch that should fix your problems with some characters in
macro expansions:

Subject: [PATCH] fix macro expansion with separators and backslashes

* lisp/org-element.el (org-element-macro-parser): Do not try to
  "repair bad splits", only split at the correct places.
* lisp/org-macro.el (org-macro-expand): Do not try to interpret the
  macro replacement text as a regex.

Allow to write macros like {{{kbd(\\)}}} and {{{kbd(\\,)}}} and expand
them correctly.  A backslash at the end of an argument was incorrectly
trying to cons the next argument (which may not exist).

I hope Nicolas will apply it or make a better patch.  The quoting used
unfortunately is not idempotent, so you need to know how many times your
macro will get expanded, but it is a start.  You should now be able to
do this:
