asciidoctor breaks rendering deck.js backend

I am attempting to use the deck.js backend with asciidoctor. I followed the instructions at http://asciidoctor.org/docs/install-and-use-deckjs-backend/. I get the following error:

$ asciidoctor --trace -T asciidoctor-backends/haml deckjs-example.asciidoc

    from /usr/local/bin/asciidoctor:23:in `<main>'

My document - deckjs-example - looks like:

= Asciidoctor Deckjs Example

:backend: deckjs
:deckjs_theme: web-2.0
:deckjs_transition: horizontal-slide
:navigation:
:blank:
:goto:
:menu:
:status:
:split:
:toc:

== Title of Slide One
Hello World!

[canvas-image="images/groovy.jpg"]
== Slide Two's Title will not be displayed

[role="canvas-caption", position="center-up"]
This text is displayed on top of the example.jpg image.

My directory contains all the things that I seem to need to have installed:

$ ls

26740079 drwxr-xr-x 2 worldwidewilly worldwidewilly 4.0K Apr 27 14:00 images

I presume a configuration problem. Searching has yet to reveal a solution, though I did find a similar problem on the AsciiDoctor discussion group which, unfortunately, did not seem to provide a solution, at least not one I understood.

I am running on Linux Mint 17. It turns out that the asciidoctor package available in the package manager was hopelessly out of date. Note the version used above: asciidoctor-0.1.4. When I updated to the latest version, 1.5.2, all worked fine.
