Ah, this is beause \ContentsHead gets a truckload of rubish passed (add 
\showargument{#1} and you see what i mean) and this confuses tex when 
testing things (if..else in argument); even if i would solve this, other 
*user) code could mess up things; this is why we have (inside a head):

   \doifmodeelse{*sectionnumber}

or alternatively: \doiftextelse for content testing

(btw, sorry that i didn't yet answer your question about the numbering)
