Contrary to the documentation of the WorkflowPlugin, the macros associated with the revision versions and time (%WORKFLOWLASTREV_State%, %WORKFLOWLASTTIME_State%, %WORKFLOWLASTVERSION_State%) DO NOT accept an optional default parameter, which is the name of a topic, and a web parameter.

When adding the parameter (eg %WORKFLOWLASTREV_APPROVED{topic="MyWeb.MyTopic"}% or %WORKFLOWLASTREV_APPROVED{"MyWeb.MyTopic"}% or %WORKFLOWLASTREV_APPROVED{MyWeb.MyTopic}% the macro does not get expanded.

To reproduce the error, in a DIFFERENT topic from the one that is subject to workflow control, enter the macros with the topic parameter pointing to the controlled topic. The macros do not get expanded.

I reproduced the error with version 8761 (2010-08-25) of the WorkflowPlugin (Foswiki-1.0.9, Sun, 17 Jan 2010, build 6075, Plugin API version 2.0). According to the change history, more recent versions of the plugin do not appear to address this issue.
