Yeah, that's definitely strange.  I think it shouldn't have worked, according 
to the docs.  In the Kylix help they say:

 "Conditional symbols are not Delphi identifiers and cannot
 be referenced in actual program code.  Similarly, Delphi
 identifiers cannot be referenced in any conditional directives
 other than $IF and $ELSEIF."

Oh, you were right about where you found that - The Indy components shipped 
with Kylix 3 had that exact bit of code.  It's moot now, since you took all 
the Kylix stuff out of your project, but Indy 10 has changed how that check 
is made, eschewing $IFDEF for $IF.
