Not really.  It would more or less suggest

    \on-the-fly \(on-page-nmbr)

which is non-sensical of course.

Try \on-the-fly #(on-page-nmbr 4) ...

It should work in most contexts.  There may be some circumstances where
it doesn't which was the point of the manual preferring \xxx over #xxx
for the non-parametric conditions.  But with a parameter, \xxx clearly
doesn't work.
