Thank you for the feedback.

Even though it is surprising, this is not an issue. The thing is macros
are expanded at the very beginning of the export process, even before
the document is parsed. At this point, the example above is properly
expanded to

  7463.

However, this is then parsed as the first numbered item of a plain list,
which is then exported as

  1.

IOW, there is not much we can do. You may want to insert a zero-width
space between the macro and the dot.

Regards,
