Even if I delete the extra backslash from the value of the macro
in org-macro-initialize-templates, the regexp fails to properly
match:

,----
|     ;; Install buffer-local macros.
|     (org-with-wide-buffer
|      (goto-char (point-min))
|      (while (re-search-forward "^[ \t]*#\\+MACRO:" nil t)
|        (let ((element (org-element-at-point)))
| 	 (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
| 	   (let ((value (org-element-property :value element)))
| 	     (when (string-match "^\\(.*?\\)\\(?:\\s-+\\(.*\\)\\)?\\s-*$" value)
| 	       (funcall set-template
| 			(cons (match-string 1 value)
| 			      (or (match-string 2 value) "")))))))))
`----

OTOH, if I modify the cell argument inside set-template[fn:1] to get rid of
the extra backslash, the macro expansion happened as expected.

Footnotes:

[fn:1] This is obviously a gross hack, only meant as a debugging aid.
       In fact, I didn't even code it up: I just stepped through the
       thing with edebug and slammed the modified value into the cell
       argument.
