I'm seeing various things fail when I try to next braces inside \eqn.

you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
-------------------------------------------------------
Notice that the argument seems to have been doubled.
I tried using \begingroup and \endgroup, and ran into problem with a
later \eqn with nested braces.
For reference, particularly in case I've missed something earlier, here
is a fuller excerpt from the input file:
--------------------------------------------
With \eqn{J} possible outcomes and \eqn{p_j}{p(j)} the probability of
the \eqn{j}'th outcome,
the formula is \deqn{\newcommand{\B}{{\bf \beta}}\newcommand{\X}{{\bf
X}}
p_j = \frac{e^{\X\B_j}}{\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^J e^{\X\B_k}}.}{
p(j) = exp[X*b(j)]/sum{exp[X*b(k)], k=0 to J}.}
\eqn{{\bf\beta}_j}{b(j)} is the vector of coefficients for outcome
\eqn{j} and
\eqn{{\bf X}}{X} are the covariates.
--------------------------------------------
By the way, the \newcommand is not global, so I can't use \B (for
example) in later \eqn's.
Using R 2.0.0.
