As that section says, link elements don't generate page
numbers.  I suspect it because link text is
arbitrary and page number references may not
fit in.  Seems like it could be an option, however.

That seems to be by design.  Only the text content
of a term is processed, not any attributes.

The id should be on the varlistentry.
There is no template to generate xref text
from term elements.

BTW, the appendix.autolabel parameter is in
version 1.60.1 of the stylesheets.  I don't know
why it didn't work for you to turn off
"Appendix A" (it worked for me).
