Well, I also made a hack that uses the unix power.
(and just finished converting the thesis to have hebrew)
I made a script with different stages.
in the first stage I print in the start of dvi file
"\newcommand{\SFDPRE}{\ref{a}}{\ref{b}}"
which results in "\newcommand{\SFDPRE}{1}{2}"
then I use dvi2tty and grep to take the resulting lines
with the fixed numbers and put it in a .tex file which
I input in the third stage back to thesis.tex
Then you don't have anymore refs inside equations so you
can continue with normal compilation.
All I can say: "Thank you linux" :)
I think I'll also try to give your hack a go also.
10x.
Here it is. little crazy but it works (thesis.tex has
\input{equationRefsModel.tex}):
echo "\input{equationRefs.tex}"> equationRefsModel.tex
echo "\input{equationRefsPrint.tex}">> equationRefsModel.tex
elatex -interaction=batchmode thesis.tex
bibtex thesis
elatex -interaction=batchmode thesis.tex
dvi2tty thesis.dvi|grep newcommand > equationRefsManual.tex
echo "\input{equationRefsManual.tex}"> equationRefsModel.tex
elatex thesis.tex
bibtex thesis
elatex thesis.tex
