This is definitely a bug as we have a major incompatibility between two 
features.
Remark: although mod_macro can use $ and % for unescaped characters, 
${x} is used by Define and %{x} by mod_rewrite :-(

I suppose the preferred solution to not be incompatible with the current 
situation would be an optional directive to overwrite the $ character 
(DefineChar?)

The problem still exists in 2.4.16.  Shall I file a bug?
