I'm not sure why this didn't work; I do something quite similar, and it
works--but then there are lots of versions of Franz (ours is opus 38.91)...
What I'd suggest is putting a conditional into the file, like:
	#+franz (declare (macros t))
We use exactly this, and it works (in our opus!).  The documentation is in
section 8.3.4.1 of our manual.  This also exists in Common Lisp.
