Actually this is an old bug uncovered by another unrelated change.
Emacs 24.2.1 stored the key `C-x' in the keyboard macro.
Emacs 24.3.1 now stores the whole key sequence `C-x e'.

Storing `C-x' had no effect, but also made no sense.
It's clear that neither `C-x' nor `C-x e' should be stored.
So not storing `C-x e' will not execute the same macro repeatedly.

Currently I see only one way to fix this properly:
