You're pardonned, therefore (?) there is an elementary
solution: \protect. Insert that before \cite.
If (and when) you read the LaTeX book you'll find a lot
of confusing remarks about fragile commands and \protect-ing
them. This in completely ununderstandable if you don't know
a lot more about the inside of TeX.

Just remember that insrting \protect occasionally helps.
