This is because the shortcaption layout listed on the above page redefines the
caption command. Use the following in your layout file instead:
Style ShortCaption
CopyStyle Caption
LatexName shortcaption
LabelString "Short Caption:"
LabelType Static
Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\newcommand{\shortcaption}[1]{%
\renewcommand{\caption}[1]{\oldcaption[#1]{##1}}%
}
EndPreamble
End
