[OS X TeX] Is There A Reason...

Is there a good reason why \chapter, \section, and \subsection don't handle the \( and \) delimiters properly, but do handle $...$ right? Or is it a bug? The following minimal example is from a book a colleague is writing, and we both wonder.
The example appears to compile correctly, and even displays a page in TeXShop. But a second compile fails, and there's a mess in the .toc file that seems to cause the failure. The mess is put there by the first compile. What's going on?
