I don't know the root cause of your table of contents problem, but I'll answer
your literal question, "what am I doing wrong?"
When you redefine an environment, you need to transfer both the environment's
begin code and end code. You didn't do that here.
Here's a discussion:

Within that document, search for this string:
POTENTIAL DEBUGGING NIGHTMARE
Like I said, it might not fix your TOC problem, but it does answer the
question "what am I doing wrong."
