Re-read my own question and it answered itself.  Sorry for cluttering up
all those in-boxes.

The \egroup in question is not part of \testref's definition, but a
convenience used to make a list of tokens into a single token suitable
for using as an argument to another macro. 

Is the lesson, then, that one can use a list like this as an argument to
a macro, but the price is that you're stuck with the list delimiters.
Is that correct?

Many thanks for the help,
