This bug is not MacroAss specific: it's present in some (badly written) other programs too (including my Zak Wizzard v2.0 - that's why I had to update it some years ago to v2.1).
The cause of the problem is the KERNAL's way of handling the 1551: it assumes device number in $AE (from a previous SETLFS call) to detect the 1551 properly. If the program uses LISTEN/TALK (serial-bus specific) commands without a prior SETLFS then it won't work with the 1551.
I've used this version of MacroAss on my plus/4 with a 1541-II for years without a problem.
