OK.  maybe put the following into your StringTemplateLoader:-

static {
	System.err.println("StringTemplateLoader booting up");
}

which will tell you whether or not the class is being loaded from the 
WebMacro.properties file.

This all looks fine as far as I can see.  Try sticking a debug message in the 
load method of the StringTemplateLoader to see whether or not it is actually 
getting invoked.  Can you mail me the source to your StringTemplateLoader off 
list and I'll run it besides my EvaluatingTemplateProvider and see if they 
behave differently...
