No.

mãcelar since:
1. we don't deal with final -ella (the one affected by the above
mentioned transformation) but with internal -ella-
2. the stress is on /a/ not on /e/ in this case, so the phonetic
conditions are basically different.
Anyway, there is no need to infer a "*margellatus": the word
"mãrgelat" (`with beads`) describes a person which possesses
several "mãrgele" (`beads`), so the the correct derivation
should be from the plural form, with conservation of /l/.
