I had the same problem when I was working on some complex markup. as I 
documented here:

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Profiles/StirlingWestrup


The final solution that worked for me was to put the function name in 
single quotes, and the parameter in double, like this:

Markup('getarg', 'fulltext',
    '/\\(:getarg (.*?):\\)/',
     'mygetarg("$1")');
