I see that this isn't a LaTeX error, but I think Tony's comment is still somewhat valid. Since mathtext's parser is a direct subset of LaTeX's, and since $$ is a syntax error in LaTeX, it also is in mathtext. (This is really a side effect of make such a direct copy of the parser, rather than a deliberate choice). We can probably add a workaround to the parser, but I personally don't have a problem with it raising an exception. It doesn't seem to be a very useful thing to be able to do. What's your use case?
