$n^\text{th}$ is wrong, unsupported syntax. It works (sometimes) but only by 
chance. The correct latex input if you have more than one token in a 
superscript or subscript is to add additional braces:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$n^{\text{th}}$
\end{document}

With them your example compiles.
