I have suffered from the same error for many months.

Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2)

I tried verifying the init.el by the "bisecting" technique. I found that the init.el file itself was not the cause of the error.

I tried 'M-x packge-refresh-contents' but it did not fix the problem.

Finally, I could fix the error by the following steps.

1. take a backup of the ~/.emacs.d/ directory including the init.el file.
2. remove the ~/.emacs.d/ directory completely
3. recreate the ~/.emacs.d/ directory by mkdir command
4. copy the init.el file from the backup into the newly created ~/.emacs.d/ directory.
5. start emacs; effectively applying the restored ~/.emacs.d/init.el file.
6. Emacs emitted some errors, that said some directories are missing under the ~/.emacs.d, for example ~/.emacs.d/conf. So I created them as told to.
7. Emacs emitted some errors, that said 4 or 5 packages are refered to in the init.el but not actually installed. So I freshly installed those packages by M-x package-list-packages. At this timing, I noticed that ~/.emacs.d/elpa directory was newly created and contents were downloaded.
8. Finally, my emacs launched without "Eager macro expansion error".
9. A side effect; my emacs start very quickly now. I suppose, it is because the elpa directory has the minimum packages installed.

I think that I could fix the problem because I once removed the elpa directory completely, and I recreated it and installed the packages fresh; so some file(s) that had caused the error disappeared. Which file? --- I don't know. Now I do not need to know it.
