Nevermind, I found the answer myself, it turned out to be simple.
Evaluating loc a = r(string) automatically prevents macro expansion within r(string).
I think this should be explicitly mentioned in the manual when describing the difference between the constructions
loc a `r(string)'
and
loc a = r(string)
