I must say I'm shocked that you're still using \verb in indices. This is 
certainly one of the cruftier parts of doc.sty, and generally something 
which is just begging for throwing weird errors at users down the line.

xdoc2.dtx shows how one can cleanly avoid this. It may "only" be half the 
age of doc.sty, but surely some of you should have looked at it. ;-)
