The problem are these two synonyms:

\let \getnumber             \getcounter       % [name]
\let \convertednumber       \getcounter       % [name]

There is a \convertedcounter but no \getcounter.

@Thomas: You can \rawcounter to print only the numeric value of the counter or \convertedcounter for a formatted form of the counter (you can apply a conversion, e.g. romannumerals or add a prefix, e.g. the current chapter or section number).
