I believe you can do (setq x-select-enable-clipboard nil) on MS Windows 
too to avoid sync with Windows clipboard. I just did a test, but that 
was with the CVS version (next version) of Emacs. That would mean that 
if you can set this during the execution of the keyboard macro then the 
bevaviour of kill-new etc would be as you want them too. Or am I 
seriously misunderstanding you? My apologizes in that case.

Perhaps would it be convenient to put a defadvice around on 
execute-kbd-macro for this?
