At a wild guess, as I had a similar problem in my XML: try using \startembeddedxtable
instead of \startxtable. In my case, what happened was that a row of the xtable
ended up in the header/footer, generating the same error message you got.
Not sure if it is actually the same problem, but switching is worth a shot.
The \startxtable does not like to be wrapped into other environments,
so \startembeddedxtable is much better for that.
Best wishes,
Taco
