umbraco:macro tag causes error

When I add

<umbraco:Macro runat="server" language="cshtml">

</umbraco:Macro>

to a template, I get this error, as soon as I remove it, everything is fine.

I believe it's because there's nothing inside the Macro tags. This works:
```
<umbraco:Macro  runat="server" language="cshtml">
@{ var foo="bar"; }
</umbraco:Macro>  
```
or this
```
<umbraco:Macro  runat="server" language="cshtml">
@{ }
</umbraco:Macro>   
```
