I don't really understand this error message but it seems that the
parsing of the '@end displaymath' directive is getting in the way.
According to documentation of TeX, \eqno should be followed immediately
by $$.
I found a fix for this in commit a2cc1f914 by temporarily redefining @end
to exit display math mode straight away. This works for both the alignment
(which uses \halign) and \eqno.
