OTOH, %configure is also a macro, but it is widely used without curly brackets.
Bad comparison, because %configure is always separated with spaces from the rest. The brackets don't add any value there. Even if you "%define config blubb", or something to that effect, that won't cause %configure to be expanded incorrectly.
Note that (as far as I am correct) there is a case where wrapping with brackets causes wrong (unexpected) behavior when macro takes arguments: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2011-August/007898.html
For example with rubygem-devel installed and on F-19, i686:
$ rpm --eval "%gem_install -n foobar.gem"
mkdir -p ./usr/share/gems
CONFIGURE_ARGS="--with-cflags='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=atom -fasynchronous-unwind-tables' $CONFIGURE_ARGS" \ gem install \ -V \ --local \ --install-dir ./usr/share/gems \ --bindir ./usr/bin \ --force \ --document=ri,rdoc \ foobar.gem
v.s. $ rpm --eval "%{gem_install} -n foobar.gem"
mkdir -p ./usr/share/gems
CONFIGURE_ARGS="--with-cflags='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=atom -fasynchronous-unwind-tables' $CONFIGURE_ARGS" \ gem install \ -V \ --local \ --install-dir ./usr/share/gems \ --bindir ./usr/bin \ --force \ --document=ri,rdoc \ %{gem_name}-%{version}.gem -n foobar.gem
