The solution to this problem is to move the xml:id attributes from the
para elements up to their respective listitem elements. You want the
xref to generate the listitem number.
The xref element uses its target element to generate the link text, but
a para is not considered appropriate for generated text because it could
be very long. The stylesheet recognizes that problem and issues this
warning:
WARNING: xref to <para id="Ref1"> has no generated text. Trying
its ancestor elements.
but then it doesn't seem to handle the attempt properly in this case.
