I have confirmed that the %center% is being picked up in the toc
and tested a fix that looks for and removes '%center%'.

However, I am of 2 minds about what the fix should be:

a) just remove %center% -- this has the advantage that other
   styles will be processed as part of the toc, but if there
   is one special case, there may be a need for more than one

b) remove %[^%]*% -- this has the advantage of treating all
   styles equally by stripping them out, but some authors may
   want to have some styles reflected in the toc

c) do nothing -- I don't think this is an option, as the
   centred toc text is pretty ugly

At the moment I lean to option a, but am keen to hear other 
views either for or against. On principle, I don't really like
treating one style as a special case so am happy to be
convinced that the code should do something else.

Meanwhile, I will do nothing.
