Your macro expands to source code which contains a literal function
object in it.  Instead, you want to expand into source code which
contains something which will retrieve the function object.  The usual
error is to provide a default for a parameter which ends up being
unquoted such as #'foo, where you should actually provide '#'foo.
(You could also provide ''foo as the default).
