Hi again,

As I looked at the issue again, I noticed some warnings from hyperref

Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string 
(PDFDocEncoding):
(hyperref)                removing `math shift' on input line 22.

Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string 
(PDFDocEncoding):
(hyperref)                removing `superscript' on input line 22.

Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string 
(PDFDocEncoding):
(hyperref)                removing `math shift' on input line 22.



I don't see anything strange in the document. Do you think it might 
create any problems?




Minimal example:
%==================================================
\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{glossaries}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\newglossaryentry{lala}{
         name={$X^{y}$-tree},
         text={$X^{y}$-tree},
         description={The famous Xy-tree}
}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\clearpage

In general, math works fine $N_{x}^{y} \leftarrow \rightarrow X$

\section{Math doesn't work for glsentryname \glsentrytext{lala}}
In text or headings.

gls: \gls{lala}.

glsentryname: \glsentryname{lala}

glsentrytext: \glsentrytext{lala}

\end{document}
