As I see it, #ifdef() test the existence of an entity.
With the quotes, the string DO exist, IS defined, even if it only exist 
locally. So, the test returns true.
Without the quotes, it test if the variable exist, and, if it wasn't 
#declare beforehand, will return false.

So, I think that it behave as it should.
