There are two possible causes for this problem
Here is the fix for one of them:
> Thanks Bob, and Robert

> There is indeed an error in the encoding of the figure captions.
> It's fixed by adding a single line of code into &extract_captions :
>
> #replace image-markers by the image params #<< insert comment
> s/$image_mark\#([^\#]+)\#/&purify_caption($1)/e; #<< insert code
> #resolve any embedded cross-references first
> $_ = &simplify($_);
> $_ = &sanitize($_);
The other possible cause is that you have a macro in the math
that gets expanded by LaTeX before it writes into the .aux file.
Any such macro needs \protect in front of it.
e.g. Robert and Bob have things like \ion{Ca}{2}
which need to be replaced with \protect\ion{Ca}{2} .
Unfortunately this has to be done by hand...
...unless you wish to explore using the \DeclareRobustCommand
which was included in LaTeX with the 1997 (I think) releases.
