The problem is that <link> tag was correctly closed with </link>
afterwards, so the part linkend="..."> became ordinary text. I.e. it is
not a syntactical error, but a semantical one (not what the writer
wanted). This would require some heuristics to catch, which would run
high danger of false positives (and zero-false positives is a hard
requirement on check-* sieves).

However you say that generating the docbook does result in error, which
contradicts what I said about syntactical correctness. What kind of
error is actually reported there?
