Indeed you'd need to check if the wikimodel's creole parser supports macros.
The source code is here:
http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/
The Creole grammar is here:
http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/source/browse/trunk/org.wikimodel.wem/src/main/java/org/wikimodel/wem/creole/javacc/CreoleWikiScanner.jj
As you can see there, it doesn't support macros and thus is not going to send
an begin/endMacro events to XWiki's listeners.
If you really want to use the Creole syntax you'd need to provide a patch for
the wikimodel project.
However why do you need Creole and can't you use XWiki Syntax 2.0 instead?
XWiki Syntax 2.0 is based on Creole (it's a superset).
Thanks
