I'm sorry, somehow I didn't pay enough attention when preparing that
part of the e-mail. The actual macro uses tools::toRd(bibentry(...)).

I'll remember to provide more reproducible examples next time.

c81965 was reverted, and "take two" of the improvement in c82029
doesn't crash my macros (thanks, Kurt Hornik!), but I'm still willing
to rewrite my macros to give R maintainers more freedom to evolve Rd in
the future. Maybe it's better to use a per-package database of
bibentries and reference them with much simpler macro arguments, but
that would be better fit for R-pkg-devel :)
