    More info: problem seems to happen when the generated page ref, which
    includes 2 parts
    (the section title, and the page number) falls such that the line is
    split between these two things.
    If I merely add some text in front of the problem ref to shift it so
    this split doesn't happen,
    it works (the page number formats with a page number, not a "?").

    The problem seems to be also avoided if I use an explicit
    xrefstyle="select: label quotedtitle" attribute on the link that's not
    formatting correctly.

    Is this the best work-around or are there others?-Marshall Schor
