What you are showing above does not set `TeX-macro-global' in any way.
And I could not find any other place besides its defcustom where its
value is changed.  That means if the value of this variable is not nil
in your case, you set manually somewhere.

Last time I mentioned this as one of two alternatives for dealing with
`TeX-macro-global' in XEmacs you wrote "For me both solutions look

other?

Anyway, please label that change clearly as an XEmacs specific so that
users can address queries correctly.
