Math Processing Error (MathJax in Canvas)

I have encountered the following issue a couple of times in the last week. One portion of MathJax text (that seems to be properly formatted) is not rendered, giving a "Math Processing Error".

However, it is more complicated than just that. If I edit the page in different ways, the one MathJax code immediately following that second x=g(y) piece always receives the error, almost as if something goes wrong after that second x=g(y) that makes whatever the next MathJax code is go wrong. In other words, if I put x=y in MathJax right after that second x=g(y), it will now be the piece that fails to process, and the originally problematic code will show up just fine.

I have made a video to demonstrate this, showing the underlying code along the way.

I know it is a long shot, but any ideas?

Edit: When I make the piece immediately following the second x=g(y) the code \(x=y\), everything works. \(=y^{2}\) works. But \(x=y^{2}\) does not work. I am baffled.
