When I make a document with only `\d{o}', there is no problem. You must
be more specific about the contents of your document.

Probably the \d command is redefined somewhere, maybe in a style file,
to do something else than making this accent.
You may test this, by putting

  \show\d

just before the point where the problem occurs.
This stops laTeX, and there should appear a message saying:

  > \d=macro:
  ->\protect \pd .

If it says something else, \d is redefined, and you should find out
where and how...
