I suspect that this was introduced as a result of a public comment from someone who was confused (honestly or perversely) about 6.10.3.4p1: "After all parameters in the replacement list have been substituted, the resulting preprocessing token sequence is rescanned ..." (emphasis added). This clearly describes the rescanning of function-like macros, but because of the reference to parameters, may be taken as not applying to object-like macros.
Add a new sentence to the end of 6.10.3p9:
A preprocessing directive of the form
# define identifier replacement-list new-linedefines an object-like macro that causes each subsequent instance of the macro name145) to be replaced by the replacement list of preprocessing tokens that constitute the remainder of the directive. The replacement list is then rescanned for more macro names as specified below.
