A side-effect, is that spec parsers that read the file in a buildroot which is missing the package providing the macro, will sometimes think the macro call is part of the subpackage %summary. This is unfortunate, but I don't see how to avoid it without making another part of the spec harder for us.
So long as it doesn't disrupt what is viewed as the summary from the srpm stored in Koji, I think you'll be fine.
Unfortunately, I dimly remember seing the macro call appear in the past in the summary shown in packagedb or koji (don't remember the package name, and it may not occur with new koji/packagedb versions).
Easy to check, what's a package that does this macro directly after Summary: or %description?
adf-accanthis-fonts is probably the most recent "complex" font package but I wouldn't vouch the declaration happens exactly in the same order in all font packages. The general pattern is the same but packagers have different tools and habits so slight variations exist.
Anyway here is one occurence of what I worried about in all its glory
