Thanks very much for pointing this out.  Article titles in ANZJS don't 
*usually* contain any mathematical symbols.  In fact I had the vague 
recollection that this was Journal *policy*, but I checked and could 
find no indication of such a policy.

To guard against this possibility I added the line

    \@ifundefined{MakeTextUppercase}{}{\let\uppercasenonmath\altucnm}%

to the *.cls file and then replaced the "MakeUppercase" (that I had 
inserted, following the suggestion made by David Carlisle) by
"MakeTextUppercase".

A bit of experimentation with introducing some mathematics into a title 
indicates that this works.

Indeed.  I got the syntax for defining the MakeTextUppercase command by 
following your suggestion.  Thanks very much.

cheers,

P. S.  Please let me know if I've done anything stupid/perilous in 
implementing my solution as described above.
