After that it complains about a runaway argument.

of any probably clashes? (the comments are my docs, not intended to

The myluthesis.sty is lehigh's thesis style and is very hacky and is
quite likely what is causing the problem. Feel free to peruse over it
at
http://indigo1.me.lehigh.edu/~alf5/public/myluthesis.sty
I'm not intending anyone to re-write the thesis style for me, more
interested if anyone has seen this error before and knows why it is
happening?!

Please create a minimal document exhibiting the problem by throwing
out everything that does not contribute to the problem. Once you
can't remove anything without getting the problem, post again with a
_complete_ (not just preamble) _minimal_ document.
Only in that manner is it possible to analyze the problem.

That does not show enough information. I must guess that the
\contentsline is not written with enough aruments for hyperref.
So what package is controlling writing list of figures? Is that
a subfigure?

Fair point. The full line is
\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {3.2}{\ignorespaces Stable root
trajectories, originating from the roots of $\text {Ai}'(z_0)= 0$, for
the simple wall $a_1 = a_2 = 0$, plotted for various $\epsilon
$.}}{48}
I don't quite see how this is different from other lines in .lof file.

That one isn't a subfigure, but I am using subfigure later which seems
to be causing some havoc in \listoffigures.
I'm not sure which package controls writing to list of figures;
myluthesis.sty does some formatting of the contentsline entry to .toc,
but does not touch .lof from what I can tell.

Cheers, yes, I had guessed something like that when looking at
doublespace.sty and it talking about "documentstyle"... but the whole
double spacing thing seems to be a bit fiddly eg. I get the following
error if I have a \begin{comment} attached to another paragraph:
! Bad space factor (0).

l.88 ^^I\end{comment}

I see that you are aware of this package ;-)
To be honest, I don't actually use it in this document and it is there
from legacy, as is my comment.

Yeah, I know, I think I was on an old installation.

Ahhh, useful to know. I think I was using that in conjunction with
apalike but for some reason I can't recreate the problem at the
moment. Otherwise, I don't actually need it so I'll remove it for now.

OK, I ran this. I don't get the error you quoted before, but
it is probably the same cause: fragile commands in moving argument.
In particular, the moving argument is \MakeUppercase{ } in \l@chapter.
Since the argument is something like:
\chaptername \hspace {0.25em} \hyper@linkstart {link}{chapter.1}{\numberline
{1}one}\hyper@linkend
you will have no luck inserting \protect at places. I suggest you
convert only \chaptername and the title ("one") to uppercase, or
just type them in uppercase.
Actually, I think you will find it easier to use one of the packages
like tocloft.
