When I use the following macro inside the folder-hook (I don't have
offlineimap)

macro index,pager G "!/bin/echo $record\n"; \

and then press G in my inbox I got

| =INBOX.INBOX
| Press any key to continue...

Just to be sure: You don't have another macro "macro index,pager G ..."
behind the folder-hook?
