Now that you mention it I'm not sure why I thought returning :($esc(ex)) was better than esc(ex), I think they give identical results in this case (maybe all cases?).
But at any rate, that doesn't affect this problem since both do give the identical result. The problem seems to be that the returned expression in general might have esc's in it which ordinarily get taken out when invoking a macro the usual way, but don't get taken out in this case.
