How strange.  It work for me.  Here is a test run:

  % ./xmacrorec :0

  Press the key you want to use to end the application. This key can be any key, 
  as long as you don't need it while working with the remote display.
  A good choice is Escape.

  The chosen quit-key has the keycode: 37
  XTest for server ":0" is version 2.2.

  Skipping stale KeyRelease event. 1
  Skipping stale KeyRelease event. 0
  xmacrorec: pointer and keyboard released. 

  released
  %

I had to press escape twice, once to register it as the exit keypress,
and once to exit.

No idea what went wrong when you tested it.
