I can reproduce the problem with a recent Emacs-CVS checkout.

It seems the problem is that Emac gets stuck in
c-syntactic-re-search-forward looking for an open-paren and finding that
the open-paren in in a macro.  Why does it think it's in a macro?
c-beginning-of-macro jumps to the first hash of the second line.
The `b' just before is tagged with a text-property `c-is-sws' which
sounds wrong if `sws' means "syntactic-white-space".  But this is getting
too cc-mode specific for me.
Martin can you take a look at it?
