repeat dictionary entry defined in macro is not accessible from code in fill-slot

In Plone 4.0 the template Plone-4.0-py2.6.egg/Products/CMFPlone/skins/plone_content/folder_tabular_view.pt uses a macro called entries from eggs/Plone-4.0-py2.6.egg/Products/CMFPlone/skins/plone_content/folder_listing.pt that contains a tal:repeat. The block that is repeated contains a slot that is filled in folder_tabular_view. When the code that fills the slot tries to access the repeat dictionary entry from the macro it is not there.

This does not happen when the macro is defined and used in the same template.
