What is so different about the supposed Bulgarians in Macedonia and Bulgarians in Bulgaria? Why would one side make up the supposed "false identity" and the other wouldn't? And why did this phenomenon happen only in one region? And why didn't any of the neighbors of Macedonia consider Macedonians as Bulgarians while only Bulgarians did?

They are the same people. Just the "macedonians" (Bulgarians) of eastern Macedonia attempted to deny their Turkish influence by creating a false identity.
Bulgarians are'nt the only one that consider "macedonians" Bulgarians. The Greeks consider you Bulgarians the Albanians do etc etc.

If you look at old ethnic maps made by neutral ethnographers, you'll see that 'Macedonians' don't exist. In what's today FYROM, it used to be inhabited by Bulgarians. Where did Macedonians came from then you'll ask? Well, they identified as Bulgarians before being part of Yugoslavia. After that, they called themselves Macedonian, because that's how the territory in the antiquity was called, ignoring the fact that there already was a Macedonia in Greece, starting the naming dispute, the reason today why it's used the politically correct their country is called FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia). That region was formally known as Vardar prior to this, after the Vardar river http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vardar_Macedonia
