\fbox is fragile, if I remember rightly. You can get out of this by using a
minipage. Put something like this in your preamble:
\newenvironment{myBox}{%
\vspace{4mm}
\noindent%
\begin{lrbox}{\@tempboxa}%
\begin{minipage}[c]{0.5\columnwidth}%
}{%
\end{minipage}%
\end{lrbox}%
\centering
\fbox{\parbox{0.5\columnwidth}{\usebox{\@tempboxa}}}\\%
\vspace{4mm}
}%
This is adapted a little from one of Herbert's bits of LaTeX wizardry -
you'll probably want to play with it to get your box the right size and in
the right position.
