#declare Anowdotxz=<1,0,1>*(Veenext-Veenow);

Is this exactly the same result as:

#declare Anowdotxz=<Veenext.x-Veenow.x,0,Veenext.z-Veenow.z>;

My hunch is that it is, but my overall code isn't doing what I expect it to.
Sometimes there's the temptation to introduce sloppy code (the latter) when
I'm afraid I don't understand proper syntax.

Yes, it's exactly the same

I know what you mean..
But the bug must lie somewhere else
