I have the same error:
"Your template is invalid because the tag 'b:section' appears inside
of the tag 'head'."
In theory, it's completely understandable, since it's conceptually
wrong and creates very messy code. But it's quite absurd that there is
no other way to have a title format as you want... or anyone knows how
to get a "Post title - blog title" structure without this hack?
