Yes, that is by design.  'unpack_file' just cuts consequtive lines
from ')abbrev' to next ')abbrev' or end of file.  In the future
I would like to switch to compiling whole file.  During transitional
period global macros are undesirable because they may have different
effect depending on file beeing split or not.

I wrote about limitiation of 'unpack_file' on the mailing list.

Yes.
