I am not sure, either. Strictly speaking, those package should be required
only when using multiple integrals or cyclic integrals.

Yes, this fixes it, but also reveals another problem. If a macro appears
in the expansion of a \def, its requirements are also taken into account.
This is wrong, because the \def is only meant for on-screen representation
and not for output. So, the correct patch would be fixing this glitch.
This time you incurred in it, but I bet it will bite again.
