Is this a bug (I can't see it reported anywhere)?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\dot{[\dot{x}]}
\]
\end{document}

produces a misaligned "x" whereas without the \usepackage{amsmath} the alignment is fine.

Have a look at \dot over \vec over : amsmath bug/feature?. – Stefan Kottwitz Feb 02 '12 at 13:57

What mathematical/physical object are you trying to represent? How are readers supposed to understand that the outer \dot applies to [\dot{x}] rather than simply the inner \dot{x}? – Bruno Le Floch Feb 02 '12 at 14:24
