biblatex \parencites and the APA biblatex style

[Caboose]

Hi there,

Something is going wrong with multiple citations when using the APA
biblatex style. It seems that instead of printing (Alice, 2001,
chapter 4; Bob, 1965, pp. 19--42; Eve, 1999, Appendix B) It prints
(Alice, chapter 4; Bob, pp. 19--42; Eve, Appendix B).

I just did some experimenting to try and reproduce the error. I can't
seem to get it to show itself. I guess it has something to do with me
mixing parencite and textcite throughout the project?

I thought it might be to do with the counter for multiple consecutive
cites of the same thing not resetting, but only one of the works
referenced is't referenced anywhere earlier in the chapter... And
besides, putting a \citereset directly before the \parencites command
doesn't fix the problem.

I copied the text of the chapter up to the point where the problem
occurs into a new file and it pdflatexed fine. So there is something
going weird only when I \include the chapter as part of the bigger
project.

Any ideas?

OK, I tried copying the offending LaTeX into a new file and then
\included it in another test file. Everything worked. So why isn't it
working in the main document? I tried deleteing all the aux files and
rerunning pdflatex: Same problem...

I tried copying the .tex file of the offending chapter into a new
folder with my test files, I \included it. Once I'd commented out the
\chapter line, (because my test file was article class) it worked
fine. So I still can't reproduce the problem.

I tried running latex rather than pdflatex and I get a bunch of errors
because I only have my figures as pngs and not also as eps or
whatever. I noticed that I had \includepackage{wrapfig} twice in my
preamble. I delete one of them. I also delete natbib=true as an
argument from biblatex, since I no longer need it.

Now guess what? Everything in the original document looks how it
should. What the hell went wrong?

Any idea which of the random steps I tried actually helped fix my
problem?
