Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

The Emacs info file claims:
   If you give `insert-kbd-macro' a numeric argument, it makes
additional Lisp code to record the keys (if any) that you have bound to
MACRONAME, so that the macro will be reassigned the same keys when you
load the file.
I created a macro, named it with `C-x C-k n', bound it to key <f5> and inserted the macro definition in the buffer with M-x insert-kbd-macro.  Then, I inserted the same macro again with a numeric argument M-1 M-x insert-kbd-macro.  The code inserted was exactly the same.  No additional code was added to record the keys bound to the macro.  Following is the macro definition as inserted both times:

(fset 'fill-number-list
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p") (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ([down return 67108896 up up 134217841 backspace 24 24] 0 "%d")) arg)))



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/stow/emacs-22.3/share/emacs/22.3/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

There are 2 ways to bind a macro: with global-set-key or
kmacro-bind-to-key. The former binds a key to a symbol, while the
latter binds to a lambda. The fix for #5481 fixed the lambda case but
broke the symbol case. Should be easy enough to handle both:
