A common cause for cryptic error messages is when you have references
or math formulas (I think) in figure captions or sections. This is
because these are copied in the list of figure or table of contents
and weird problem (difficult to explain here) occur here. This is what
latex calls 'fragile commands'.
I know this is not very clear, but if it is enough to pinpoint the
problematic part of the document, then I'll be able to provide a
workaround (hopefully).
