Hmm, never noticed that, but it appears to come from the changes we made
in the build process to not build the index twice and thus speed up the
build.

I think it's a bit weird to link to indexentry elements. I can't quite
wrap my head around it. I think you could just as well link to the
varlistentry elements or some other element close by. Check out how we
link to the configuration parameters in config.sgml.
Btw., try to use some kind of hierarchical scheme for the id's. If
something is in the libpq chapter, use something like
id="libpq-pqtransactionstatus".
