So it appears there is some odd interaction with the tiddler macro.
Incidentally, I tried to write my own macro that functions the same as this alias, but I get the same results; floating box with no content, as if the tiddler macro is never called.
If we can't get some form of macro working on this, I can continue to insert the CSS call myself, but I'd rather abstract it behind some sort of macro (alias or otherwise).

Very odd... I just tried this in an empty TW (with AliasPlugin
installed, of course), and it works as expected!
Here's what I did:
1) Create a tiddler [[SomeTiddler]] and put some content into it
2) In [[StyleSheet]] (empty by default), put:
.green { color:green; }
3) Create another tiddler, [[SetAlias]], containing
<<alias myStyle {{"{{green{<<tiddler [[%0]]\>\>\}\}\}"}}>>
4) Create [[TestTiddler]], containing:
<<myStyle SomeTiddler>>
result: the content from [[SomeTiddler]] is displayed in green.
Perhaps you have installed some other plugin that it messing things
up? (note: the above test also worked directly in TiddlyTools, so if
there IS a plugin-interaction occurring, it would have to be with a
non-TT plugin...)
When I passed the name of my other tiddler as an argument to the alias, AutoWeavePlugin was inserting square brackets around it, which was resulting in non-functional arguments. If I insert the square brackets myself, AutoWeave does not come into play, and I'm good to go.
I wonder how hard it would be to update AutoWeavePlugin to ignore text within macro calls?

I ran into this "bug" when running sitemap macro - the plugin would
bracket the name of the term I was trying to sitemap.
I couldn't find where to contact AutoWeavePlugin's author, Laurence
Man.
Could this be looked at?
