The patch below makes it emit
(setq last-kbd-macro
(key-parse "A B B A"))
> How does that actually work for a named macro? If I name the macro

Yes.

If you use the counter or the format, they'll appear as additional
arguments to the `kmacro` constructor.

Thanks, that gives a good reason to support that functionality.

No, the named macros are meant to use the "generic" repetition support,
e.g. by binding them to convenient keys or by using `C-x z`.

Yeah, ok, not exactly pretty.
For my use-case generating
(setq last-kbd-macro (kmacro--keys
(kmacro "A B B A")))
instead of:
(setq last-kbd-macro
(kmacro "A B B A"))
would be sufficient. I think that would be better than what happens
currently, but I can see it is not as comprehensive as also handling
the counter stuff.
How does that actually work for a named macro? If I name the macro
"hep" and insert it, I get:
(defalias 'hep
(kmacro "A B B A"))
Maybe that's because I didn't use any counters?

Better than inserting some code that doesn't work, agreed.

I rarely use macros, and I never use named macros (I always forget
about the possibility).
From time to time I edit a list of (spam)domains to reject, and I
often create a macro that inserts an email-address and changes the .
to [.] and deletes everything in front of the @.
Instead of recreating that macro when I edit that list, I thought
"Hey, I can probably save that macro in the file and reconstitute it
when I need it".
So I found M-x insert-kbd-macro and didn't give a name when prompted
(as the macro didn't have one), and it promisingly inserted some code,
which I tried evaluating and executing.
I wondered why it didn't work, and at first I assumed I was doing
something wrong.
Then I tried in an older Emacs and saw it generate something slightly
different, which worked, and then I looked in macros.el and found code
that seemed to specifically handle last-kbd-macro.
Which lead me to believe that it ought to work.
I can see that the manual and the code do not quite agree, but I still
think it is a nice and natural functionality that you can save the
current macro and get it back without having to name it.
With C-x e I can repeat the macro by pressing e more times. Is that
functionality present when I do M-x hep (ie run a named macro)?

> The generated code looks like this:

Hmm... this is nicely readable, but indeed it bumps into the following
problem:
A keyboard macro is made of 3 elements: the sequence of events, of
course, but also a counter and format string.
The "currently installed" (aka "last") keyboard macro stores those
3 pieces of info in, respectively:
last-kbd-macro
kmacro-counter
kmacro-counter-format
When saved elsewhere (e.g. in the `kmacro-ring` or in an init file),
these three elements are bundled into a single `kmacro` object.
So to avoid the error you're seeing, as the code currently stands, the
`(setq last-kbd-macro (kmacro ...))` should be replaced with either
a call to `kmacro-split-ring-element` or something which has the same
effect:
(defun kmacro-split-ring-element (elt)
(setq last-kbd-macro (kmacro--keys elt)
kmacro-counter (kmacro--counter elt)
kmacro-counter-format-start (kmacro--format elt)))
=F0=9F=99=81
Maybe a better fix would be to "force" the user to give a name to the
macro before inserting it.
Could you explain exactly how you bumped into this problem, more
specifically what was your intention behind the use of
`insert-kbd-macro` without giving the macro a name?

If you look at the code, there is an explicit path for last-kbd-macro:
(if (string=3D (symbol-name macroname) "")
(progn
(setq macroname 'last-kbd-macro definition last-kbd-macro)
(insert "(setq "))
(setq definition (symbol-function macroname))
=C2=B7 macros.el L70-74
which to me indicates an intention of it working, even if the manual
doesn't mention the case. This code has been in macros.el since 1992,
according to git annotate.
If insert-kbd-macro was designed explicitly to not work on the
unnamed, last macro, shouldn't an error be raised or an empty macro
name be rejected, rather than code inserted?
If you try it in a version of Emacs released before 2022-04-01 saving
last-kbd-macro does work - eg Emacs 28.2 as included in Debian 12.
(Just as a side-note: the manual of Emacs 28.2 didn't mention the
possibility either.)
Maybe Stefan Monnier (Cc'd) can shed some light on this, as he
improved the named macro part of insert-kbd-macro in 2022 (c75f65442ddf):
Also replace the old `kmacro-lambda-form` with a new `kmacro` construct=
or
which takes a `key-parse` syntax, so that the code inserted with
`insert-kbd-macro` is now more readable.
[...]
* lisp/macros.el (macro--string-to-vector): New function.
(insert-kbd-macro): Use it. Generate code using the `kmacro` construct=
or.

The Emacs user manual says
If you wish to save a keyboard macro for later use, you can give it a
name using ‘C-x C-k n’ (‘kmacro-name-last-macro’). [...]
Once a macro has a command name, you can save its definition in a
file. Then it can be used in another editing session. First, visit the
file you want to save the definition in. Then use this command:
M-x insert-kbd-macro <RET> MACRONAME <RET>
This inserts some Lisp code that, when executed later, will define the
same macro with the same definition it has now. (You don't need to
understand Lisp code to do this, because ‘insert-kbd-macro’ writes the
Lisp code for you.) Then save the file. You can load the file later
with ‘load-file’ (*note Lisp Libraries::). If the file you save in is
your init file ‘~/.emacs’ (*note Init File::) then the macro will be
defined each time you run Emacs.
So it sounds like this is supposed to work for macros that have been
given a name.

If I record a macro, for instance by pressing C-x ( A B B A C-x ) I can
do M-x insert-kbd-macro RET to have elisp representing that macro
inserted in the current buffer.
If I evaluate that code and then try to execute the macro with C-x e, I
get the error: "Keyboard macros must be strings or vectors".
I was expecting the macro to be executed, inserting "ABBA".
The generated code looks like this:
(setq last-kbd-macro
(kmacro "A B B A"))
and if I evaluate it, *Messages* contains:
#[256 "\301\242\302^[^\\305\300^B\306#\210\301^L\240*\207" [[65 66
66 65] (0) "%d" kmacro-counter-format-start kmacro-counter
execute-kbd-macro kmacro-loop-setup-function] 5 kmacro]
and pressing C-x e to execute the macro results in the above mentioned
error.
(Naming the macro and inserting it creates a defalias, which works -
it's only the last-kbd-macro case that does not work.)
