No, it's supposed to be VectorX. Thank you for pointing it out.
This should be correct:

#macro Vectors2Rotate (VectorX,VectorY) // by Rune S. Johansen
   #local RotZ = FindAngle(x,<VectorX.x,VectorX.y,0>,z);
   #local RotY = FindAngle(x,vrotate(VectorX,-RotZ*z),y);
   #local RotX = FindAngle(vrotate(y,<0,RotY,RotZ>),VectorY,VectorX);
   <RotX,RotY,RotZ>
#end

Hmm, you're probably right. I just write code using my own math skills,
which means that it is not always so optimized... I will have a look your
version.

Greetings,
