That's odd. *Within* a macro definition, the value of $(currentTiddler)$
is always defined. However, the $(...)$ syntax only works within the body
of the macro; so, *outside* a macro definition, $(currentTiddler)$ has no
defined value and is treated as literal text.
You said that "everything works fine" before you "moved all this code into
a macro tiddler". When you moved your code, did you retain the complete
macro definition, including everything from the "\define macroname(params)"
through "\end"?

Again, $(currentTiddler)$ only works within a macro, while
<<currentTiddler>> can be used either inside or outside a macro (but only
in certain syntax, as you've noted). This further suggests that your moved
macro code is no longer being defined properly.
If you post the complete contents of the macro tiddler, perhaps we could
see where things have gone wrong.
