That's because nath recatcodes the $ signs and the original
definition of \placeformula doesn't work when they are active.
(Hans, can we look into this together, please?)
Don't use $$ ... $$ with \placeformula (they should work ok for
numberless formulas though).
Actually, you've hit on one of the most strange bugs in the
nath module: it didn't support use of \startformula ...
\stopformula either! It *seemed* to work, but it didn't really
act properly. You may want to try your examples with \[ ... \]
instead of \startformula ... \stopformula, and see if you still
have the problems.
In the mean time, I will upload a new version of nath which
should also allow use of \startformula.

Thanks for spotting it!
