I tried the example you posted later and it runs without problems here
(Debian/stable with pre-packaged TeXLive 2016).

I know that amsmath re-defines \dots to be context sensitive. It may be
that \numberwithin{equation}{section} interferes with this re-definition in
some way (in the version used by you) and the bug is solved in current
versions.
You may try to use \ldots instead of \dots or to update your TeX installation.
