Oops, sorry, that was a mind shortcut happening too soon. In any case
it should be rather:

(...)
    (progn
      (set ,start-sym (or (symbol-value ,start-sym) (point-min)))
      (set ,start-sym (or (symbol-value ,end-sym) (point-max))))

as you won't be passing nil as one of the arguments to the macro.
