Yes, this is a known issue with 5.5.8 Sorry it's not (?) in my FAQ. I

Update your Macro.pm 
<http://www.plainblack.com/downloads/builds/6.2.11-gamma/WebGUI/lib/WebGUI/Macro.pm> 
about where you see this (stop, restart apache):

my $parenthesis;
$parenthesis = qr /\(                      # Start with '(',
                     (?:                     # Followed by
                     (?>[^()]+)              # Non-parenthesis
                     |(??{ $parenthesis })   # Or a balanced parenthesis block
                     )*                      # zero or more times
                     \)/x;                  # Ending with ')'

my $nestedMacro;
$nestedMacro = qr /(\^                     # Start with carat
                     ([^\^;()]+)            # And one or more none-macro characters -tagged-
                     ((?:                   # Followed by
                     (??{ $parenthesis })   # a balanced parenthesis block
                     |(?>[^\^;])            # Or not a carat or semicolon
#                    |(??{ $nestedMacro }) # Or a balanced carat-semicolon block
                     )*)                    # zero or more times -tagged-
                     ;)/x;                   # End with  a semicolon.
