Results in:

--- Using incorrect driver for hyperref! ---
Using pdflatex: specify pdftex in the hyperref options (or leave it blank).

Moving \usepackage{hyperref} a few lines towards the bottom removes the error.

Sorry for the delay.  I believe I have fixed this in r85670eea9e3c.  If it is 
fixed, please respond and I'll upload a new version.

Thanks for the report!  This was a subtle and very nasty one :)
