(critical) issue with deep macro invocations

hi,

i just found out, that the following code

function main_action() {
   var skin = createSkin("<% root.xyz.test %>");
   this.renderSkin(skin);
}

HopObject.prototype.test_macro = function(param) {
   res.write(this.href());
}

surprisingly returns the URL of the Root-Object (instead of throwing an
error). That is, the fact that 'xyz' does not exist is simply ignored
and the macro 'test' is being applied on the root-object.

i will go ahead and file a bug report (or is that behaviour actually
intented?).
