Not to you, but perhaps to others who use your macro. :)

This happens because the instructions immediately before <send-message>
behave in a way that you haven't predicted -- probably a failure case is
prompting you for something. Mutt then reads < as the response to the
prompt and continues, interpreting "s" as <save-entry> and "end-message>"
as the response to the save prompt.
I sort of wish mutt *only* accepted <binding-names> in macros, and not
keystrokes at all, but I'm sure much of the macro-processing code would
need a makeover to do that, and it would annoy a lot of people.
