I'm not sure if I'm completely off-base here, but have you tried
inserting a space between the macro name and its parameters? Like:

	Em = $(B $(BLUE $0))

Does that make a difference?

If not, I'd say you should file a bug in the issue tracker
(d.puremagic.com/issues) so that people won't forget it needs to be
fixed.
