What steps will reproduce the problem?
uncertain:
1. Add "-etex" precompilation argument
2. (Re-)Generate precompiled headers
3. <Continued below>
Expected: Headers compiled successfully. (Were compiled successfully before,
without "-etex".)
Actual Result:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012/W32TeX) (INITEX)
restricted \write18 enabled.

Suggestion:
Provide or document a way to see the actual command and data passed to the OS
and pdflatex.
The error message looks to me like the "\" masks the "b" of "\begin" before
pdflatex sees the "\begin{document}"
Also:
Would it be useful to include the "\begin{document}" in the "Code prepended"
window, possibly merging it with "Code appended", using placeholders for
preamble and document and being able to compile the headers from the Settings
window? I am thinking in ways of reducing the round trip time when playing with
the headers.
