Could you please also tell what you would *want* to work, ideally?  Is
it "@address@hidden"? 

You see, I don't understand why did you need to use @macro, unless
this is because you couldn't find a single form that works in all
output formats.  The problem is, @macro is implemented differently in
TeX and makeinfo, and so has different limitations.  So part of the
problem in your example is that you use @macro in the first place...

In general, the bets way to get a single version to work both in TeX
and in makeinfo is to expand macros with "makeinfo -E", then feed the
expanded Texinfo source to TeX/texi2dvi.
