After looking for an hour at someones thesis, I rediscovered a bug in
scribe with math and equations. There appears to be no reference in the
scribe manual regarding this and it might be a bug.

about by now)

Hi Doug.
Good news, I found out the problem. Scribe is a little flaky about tags
in mathematical equations. The sequence that you have been using is
@begin(equation)
@begin(mathdisplay)
mathematical equation
@tag(tagname)
@end(mathdisplay)
@end(equation)
The proper sequence to use in scribe is
@begin(equation)
@begin(mathdisplay)
@tag(tagname)
mathematical equation
@end(mathdisplay)
@end(equation)
Simply moving that tag will sove your problem.
Try it out and let me know.
