Umm, yes, I did mean that :)

But the problem was not that my small-caps weren't small, but a latex
error. Latex runs fine until it encounters a subfigure and then says

! Undefined control sequence.
\reserved at a ->\@nil 
                    
l.706   \noindent\subfigure
                           [Blah blah...]

Perhaps this is a bug in the subfig package, but I assumed that it was
naughty to redefine \thechapter to contain formatting
instructions. Latex runs fine, and subfig is happy, if I don't redefine
\thechapter.
