We've seen this problem before.
It has to do with module boundaries and how syntax properties are preserved.

It's been a while since I wrote this, but the work around I used was exporting 
the identifier that *expanded into code* that inserted the syntax property.
This way, ths property doesn't need to be preserve, since it gets inserted 
every time it is used:
