Turns out that this is a GM bug! If you have

self.a_resource_name = value;
var v = self.a_resource_name;

then you get a resource ID back instead of the variable value. If you find-replace "macros" in the GMLive script into something else (or rename the "macros" script), it'll work fine. I'll rename this for the next version since name "macros" is common enough.
