Aha, yes, that seems to work. I should have thought of that, but I actually 
didn’t know you can just copy all properties over with datum->syntax, haha. I 
guess I should have read the docs for that more carefully.

This does seem a little bit like cheating because now the macro-generated 
racket/base identifier is considered to be `syntax-original?`, which I guess 
may have been the problem in the first place. Does this mean that 
`syntax-original?` is less meaningful than I initially thought—just because 
it’s a “private” property doesn’t mean macros can’t generate new syntax objects 
that are considered to be “original”?

Anyway, thanks for your quick response! All seems to be well now.
