I have hit the same problem and have given up trying to get captions to work and now just make the captions using bookmarks.

I have just come across the same problem. I have been writing a thesis with many cross-references. The problem seemed to start when I cut and pasted a figure and caption into a different section of the document. The style of the figure was 'Caption' as suggested as a possible reason for it's insertion (all my other figures are 'Normal'. However changing the style back to normal and then cross-referencing again results in the same issue.

The issue is resolved if the old caption is deleted and a new one created. (Right click on image and choose caption)

Has anyone got any suggestions to stop this happening in the first place?

Thanks
