It does work if you define the macros with LaTeX, instead of native TeX:
% cat macros.tex
\newcommand{\test}{"Correctly substituted journal name."}
I didn't check with earlier versions of bibtex2html whether TeX-style
definitions used to work. However, the documentation only talks about
LaTeX macros, not about TeX macros. Hence I suppose that this is
indeed the intended behaviour.
