Firstly `tabularx' is not a standard latex command, so you ought to
have mentioned the style and version number you were using. Also my
email address is at the top of the file, so you could have used that.

Anyway, it looks like a bug to me. A temporary fix is to surround the
inner tabularx environment with braces  {..}, as in

  {\begin {tabularx}{5cm}{lX}
   ....
   \end{tabularx}}

In the next release I will either mention this in the documentation,
or include a better fix in the code (If I can think of anything).
Thanks for reporting the bug!
