I actually experience the same issue, but with macros that take no arguments
as well as with macros that do take arguments.

 No, the preview does not support that (yet). I remember that I looked into
 this problem. At that time there was a technical reason that this very hard
 to implement, although I do not remember anymore why.

 I tried the test cases on the wiki page (
 http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/Macros#toc10) and these macros expand
 appropriately.  The only difference between the test case on the wiki page
 and the problem I am seeing is the use of parameters in the macros.  The
 test macros from the wiki page do not involve parameters while the ones I am
 using do involve parameters.

 Is this going to be fixed in 1.6.1?  This seems like an unfortunate
 limitation - previews not working for macros involving parameters...

A point of clarification: when I click on an equation, the math-mode  
preview is correct (the macro is properly expanded).  It is the  
displayed equation in LyX, after exiting math mode, that is incorrect  
(the macro is not expanded).
