Macro expansion happens before export back-ends kick-in, as does Babel
code evaluation and file inclusion through #+include keywords. So the
problem (if there's one) doesn't come from ox-html.el.

On that topic, the main difference with the previous exporter is that
macros are now required to be in a context that can be parsed. Thus, for
example, the following is not a macro:

  ~{{{title}}}~

You have a mixed installation. You should perhaps fix this before trying
again.
