To use a \cite in a \caption, try putting \protect in front of \cite.

I ran into similar problems when I tried to use \ref in a \chapter heading.
The following finally worked:

	\chapter{A Proof of Theorem \protect{\ref{mytheorem}}}

In general, \protect often helps when using one command inside another one.

I hope this helps.
