I like your chapter name. "In which ..." has shades of A. A. Milne, are 
you a fan?

Otherwise... yup! Sucks.

I'll probably fix the labels problem first but not very soon.

However workaround for the labels problem is to run this attached sed 
script which removes the toc, the references and the aux section.

Then re-open the doc in texmacs and update-all a couple of times.

I use the sed script as a git clean/smudge filter so that the toc, 
references and aux don't go into git - as they typically cause problems 
when merging, and the page numbers not only have no significant but can 
also be re-calculated anyway

git-fix-texmacs myfile.tm > myfile.new.tm

OR MAKE SURE YOU EDIT THE FILE and change the first line to:

#! /bin/sed -i -f

and then you can do:

git-fix-texmacs myfile.tm

but never never do:

git-fix-texmacs < myfile.tm > myfile.tm

or it will trash your file and you probably wont have a backup
