I didn't really mean to, but ended up looking at this a bit more.

It's by no means just the font-packages that break, there are all sorts of other cases too, at least:
- passing arguments starting with "-" by passing them in as macros (%py2_build etc macros, some java packages) which now fail as invalid options. This is basically abuse, using "--" to separate arguments from options actually works but isn't widely known or documented.
- %systemd_user_post macro fails with recursion loop on %{?*}

Breakage on automatic macros is not a big surprise considering this changes scoping rules in some ways.
