Actually, part of the boilerplate includes a \pagenumbering{roman}
*after* the titlingpage environment. This is probably what caused it.
After all my remaining boilerplate (including a Preface section) I
insert a \pagenumbering{arabic} and this restarts the page numbers
from 1.

Should I submit a bug report? As I was working with this another
piece of boilerplate I had (and removed) was:
#+TEXT: \shorttableofcontents{Sessions}{0}
which resulted in:
\shorttableofcontents{Sessions}{0\}
I don't have to have the short table of contents so I removed it
but it is another such escaped backslash.

Can I set this on a case-by-case basis? Not all my documents use
memoir. I think the titlingpage environment is memoir-specific.
