So, after discussion with Vincent on IRC, it has revealed that the issue is not 
related to the SCRIPT right, but to the PROGRAM right.
The macro failing was a Groovy macro. Groovy macro requires programming rights 
and PR is only allowed to global users. So, when a local wiki user has upgraded 
the wiki, and the standard package has installed a page containing a groovy 
macro, this macro was broken.
The standard package installed by the DW is not supposed to contain any Groovy 
macro due to this limitation. In Vincent particular case, that one was 
introduced in 
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/ae09194f83b9fe1f75778e0a2501a6cc37c4b060.
We probably need to check everywhere in our standard pages, to be sure there 
aren’t other cases like that, and Vincent just proposed a PR-fixing day for 
that.

Ok I assumed is was because of this reason but it could be something else indeed

The problem I saw was on:
http://lescastcodeurs.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/edit/Episodes/Code/EpisodesClass?wizard=true&template=AppWithinMinutes.ClassTemplate&parent=Episodes.WebHome&title=Episodes%20Class

There’s this error:
"org.xwiki.rendering.macro.MacroExecutionException: The execution of the 
[groovy] script macro is not allowed. Check the rights of its last author or 
the parameters if it's rendered from another script."

No I haven’t fixed it yet. I’m currently improving 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Change%20creator%2C%20author%20or%20contentAuthor/
 to handle nested pages.

Thanks for looking into this
