Not an expansion change in rpm AFAIK: rpm expands macros everywhere, in comments, within quoted strings,
everywhere since forever. But perhaps a problem with precedence, since rpm build does map Name: and Version:
into macros when parsed.

Disable all macro definitions in rpmspec if you want to disable all expansions fixes some problems

Add %dump wherever to verify what macros are defined at that point while parsing.
