VAX shows same behaviour when you write the implementation of a function (sometimes). So its the icon which is wrong and it should not show it for any USE of a function or macro.
VA X is suggesting a template of the arguments to a declared method, function or in your case. Not sure if it should do anything for a macro, but ...
If you declare a method or function then try to define it, VA X suggests the argument template from the declaration. The suggestion appears only if you are are global scope, hence defining the object.
There is a bug, still in build 1211, that prevents you from picking the suggested template. D'oh. Not much good, is it? You are supposed to Down Arrow and Tab to select the suggestion. (We don't allow just Tab since it's such an unusual suggestion.) You will notice the suggestion is not selected by default -- the Down Arrow makes it selected.
The folder icon is a hack. We intend to replace it with the icon for autotext and templates {}* since this suggestion might be consider auto autotext.
Right, so far it works as intended. I didnt notice the "bug" you mentioned. Works fine for me. Cursor down, Enter and there it is. The folder icon irritated me, really. But for macros it is totally useless.
