Thank you for the the insights, Gabor and Hugh! Line 186 happens to be a \begin{itemize} in the package documentation section (which is chock-full of links), I didn't change that, but I did expand the DESCRIPTION, so I guess it makes sense that one of those links have slid down and gotten stuck between the pages.
Now if only I had a reliable way of reproducing the error -_- Thank you both for the quick responses!
