I think this post can be disregarded. I am noticing some of the document publisher docx templates I've put together previously are using the "CustomerLink". I found a .pptx template example file that shows how related fields are referenced in powerpoint and it is different than the formatting used when creating .docx templates. I haven't tested this yet, and it will likely be some time before I make it back to the documentation I was working on, but I am pretty confident this error is being caused by my use of incorrect formatting of the reference field.
