It's an expansion issue.

You need to define the \'e as a ``protected command'' so that it'll  
only be expanded later (or use an indexing tool which is 8-bit safe  
and enter it as é)

Try:

\newcommand{\LCacuteE}{\'e}

\newcommand{\PLCacutee}{\protect\LCacuteE}

> \newcommand{\Descartesref}{\nameref{Ren\PLCacutee}{Descartes}{1596} 
> {1650}}

You might need to add a second level (a protected command in between  
the two I defined above and have the last call the middle command).
