I don't know if this will fix your problem (without actually testing) but one of the things that will drive you crazy (or at least me) with TW5 widgets is the inconsistent attributes/parameters.
In this case, you need to call <$macrocall> with attribute "$name", not "name" . Pretty much every time you use (or I use) a widget, I have to double check the syntax at tiddlywiki.com, because it's different for different widgets. For instance, if you had been invoking the "<$set> widget, then the attribute really would have been "name".
