Hi William,
Thanks for your report. In fact, you did all well - but your example
reveals two bugs in pgfplots:
1. it seems to make a difference if you use
\addlegendentry{[\ion{Ne}{2}]}
or
\legend{[\ion{Ne}{2}], ....}
--> the \legend variant fails with some error. This is a bug in
pgfplots, caused by the square brackets which are handled correctly in
\addlegendentry and incorrectly in \legend (sorry).
2. The failure of \ref{marker:Ne3} in your example is also a bug in
pgfplots: it failed to process the 'error bars/.cd' properly while
processing options for the reference picture.
A work-around is too use the equivalent syntax
error bars/x dir=both,
error bars/x explicit,
error bars/y dir=none,
and omit the 'error bars/.cd'.
I have recorded both bugs; Sorry about that.
Best regards
Christian
