I put a response into the bug tracker, but I don't think it took. So
I'm sending this; apologies if it's a duplicate.

Not on the evidence you presented. line 1.7 below is in error, but
that's not my input. My input was
\eqn{{\bf\beta}_j}{b(j)}
The process of reading the .Rd file and generating the file for LaTeX
to process somehow doubles the initial LaTeX part, which is
{{\bf\beta}_j} (and the ascii part is {b(j)}).
I suspect that the nested {} is causing trouble.

The nesting of braces above seems to have only the LaTeX part, i.e, at
top level it is \eqn{} not \eqn{}{}. My intent was the latter.
