Why don't you switch batch mode off and run the plugin. It might be slower,
but you will be able to see if there are any errors reported.

One candidate for macros behaving bad is that the wrong image gets processed.
Can you go through the macro checking that the right image is being used?

Do you have a simple macro example to show this?
I would start:
Are the various platforms using the same version of the ij.jar?
Are the Options settings the same (specially the Black background in the
Binary Options?)
