for what it's worth for other stumbling upon this 

"After 0 kbd macro iterations: Keyboard macro terminated by a command ringing the bell"

I had the same file opened in background in another gnu screen window.
Simply closed the one that gave the error, located the gnu screen window where is was opened (using "jobs" and "fg" on bash), and it works fine.

So a duplicate unsaved copy of file running in background in emacs can cause this error to appear.

Cheers
