hmmm quite embarrassing, isn't it? yes of course, blame it on the time of

:-) That's what I blamed, anyway.

Do you mean \arabic{page} ? I've got a (strange) error with \value there.

oh well, another mistake. yes of course \value{page} doesn't work as this
generates the internal counter not its representation.

after \ifcase that is fine (and that was what i was thinking about when i
wrote it) but the {#1} later on passed to \textbf or executed on its own
will interpret the thing as a low-level counter assignment with missing
value

Sure. Actually, I just checked and the error is quite explicit indeed:
"Missing number, treated as zero". I though i was a weird error because I
saw "<to be read again> \aftergroup" and didn't want (and still don't want)
to try and understand why this \aftergroup was here...
