That snippet was the actual error context so you have to read it
upside down, and there is a bit of information missing. The
general overview is:

\makebm expands into something containing
\bm that expands into something containing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] that expands into something containing
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@p   that expands into something containing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] that expands into something containing
\makebm ... (full circle)

It seems \makebm is an internal macro of the bm package, and the
document-level definition of \makebm to redefines that macro.

Perhaps this is the result of a recent update of the bm package.
At least that would explain why the documentation may have been
run with errors in the past.

There is a simple solution: use a different macro name for the
in-document definition.

Best wishes,
Taco

Even if makebm is an internal macro, renaming the in-document
definition to, say, \differentname doesn't change a thing. I still get
the same grouping level error, with:

\differentname #1$->\bm {#1}
$
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... {\hbox {#1$\displaystyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] #2$
  }}{\hbox {#1$\textstyle \m...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@p ...fmmode [EMAIL PROTECTED] #1{#2}{#2}{#2}{#2}
  \else \bfseries #1#2\fi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...ound \z@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@@p \boldmath {{a}}
  }
\differentname #1$->\bm {#1}
$
