I don't have time to look at this, but as far as I remember, listings
plays with the catcodes of characters at input (what mostly all verbatim
environments do), thus, if you are trying to use a listing anywhere, but
at the top level of macro expansion, it will not work (because catcodes
will already have been defined for the characters to input).

Just my guess,
