I have just re-tried and cannot reproduce it either, (sorry), what David
Kastrup has pointed out (in the user ml) is that putting the #(....)
stuff "inline" as I described does not yield valid LilyPond syntax, that
is a definition like moltoF is in no way equivalent to a macro, you
cannot simply replace all \moltoF by the appropriate amount of the text
following the = sign in the definition.
He also pointed out that replacing the # by $ did allow this construct
to be inserted directly

\relative c' {
   <d e>16  <d e>
   <d e>2..$(make-dynamic-script (markup #:normal-text "molto" #:dynamic
"f")) 
 }

works fine. But I have been completely unable to track down a reference
to this $ notation in the docs :(

Thank you for looking at this and once again apologies for the mistaken
report.
