I gather from your other answer that it works "in principle" ;)

this looks like you made some mistake when pasting(?) the above
entry. Make sure there are no whitespaces after the backslashes,
check the quotation marks.

Otherwise I have no idea atm, as the exact same entry works for

You might want to break down the macro into simpler portions, or
try without line continuations, to check where exactly it breaks.

I looked in the changelog, $my_variables are supported in this
version.
