this (i've just realised i ought to look) is a known amslatex bug:
http://www.latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=amslatex/3756
as axel suggests, making \languagename anything that doesn't print
will prevent the effect. it will create chaos if you ever change
language, so this solution doesn't help if you're doing a multi-
lingual document.
i've no chance of looking today (visit from my mother later) but i'll
look for a work-around if no-one beats me to it.
