The patch looks right, thanks.  The "2+" vs "2-4" can be fixed by
changing either the macro definition of its override so that their
arglist matches.

The intention of byte-compile-initial-macro-environment is to override
"the" actual macro definition.  Obviously, this presumes that the macro is
not redefined elsewhere in a different way, otherwise the intended
behavior is not defined.
