Page Layout ⇒ Chapter in the head of the page

It simply doesn't make any sense because these commands have not effect on the local output. They just add some information to the ToC layout.

In fact, it's enough to protect[1] the \addvspace command, and it's advisable to always do so. Instead of simply

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\addvspace{-10pt}}

one should always use

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\addvspace{-10pt}}

[1]Here you can find some explanation about "protection" and fragile commands:

TeX Frequently Asked Questions -- question label "protect"

The \addvspace command has some particularities and subtleties, which you can find explained, for example, in the LaTeX Companion (2nd Edition).

Addendum: for clarity's sake (and to prevent possible future misunderstandings) I will edit the reply in which I suggested the use of \addvspace for the first time, to protect those commands.
