As this was pointed out, it seems that the common method do this in the 
kernel is actually

.Lsomename\@

which is required if your macro has more than one branch.. 
Alternatively, it seems some of the more recent code is using the 
LOCAL/.altmacro method which avoids hardcoding the local prefix. Either 
one fixes the nested macro's and wrong jump target problem.
