After the initial compilation attempt, you can open the generated .tex 
file (lurking in the buffer directory) in a text editor and search for 
any mention of verbatim. It could be that some module or funky document 
element is using it. If there's more than one occurrence, the location 
of the error in the document log window might help narrow down which one 
triggered the error.
