Yes, it can cause other problems too. The root cause is that \section is
a "moving argument". You really don't want to put anything else in
there. Though I'll confess I sometimes do.

You can also just put the label at the beginning of the text. If there's
no such text (if the first thing is a \subsection), then you can put it
on a blank line by itself. LaTeX will ignore the otherwise empty line.
