[plt-scheme] Macro changing behaviour

Hi all,

I have a simple issue:
(define-syntax-rule (test proc . args)
  (apply proc args))
(test (lambda () (+ 1 1)))

doesn't work. Generates:
 #%app: missing procedure expression; probably originally (), which is
an illegal empty application in: (#%app)

But this works:
(apply (lambda () (+ 1 1)) '())

So, somewhere this goes wrong. Can someone explain me what's the issue?

Cheers,
