Hello,

The behaviour is correct here.
You are inserting a link to a target without a description. As in any
export back-end, Org tries to associate it to a number, in this case,
headline's number.
However, you explicitly asked to have unnumbered headlines. As
a consequence Org simply bails out.

A canonical DESCRIPTION is NOT available. (YET) The ANCHOR should
still get through to the `texi' file, right?
This is the output I see in other backends (that support anchors).
HTML:
<p>
Jump to <a href="#orgtarget1">No description for this link</a>.
</p>
LaTeX:
Jump to \ref{orgtarget1}.

We can replace a silly behaviour with another silly one, yes. But is
there any non-silly one?

The example above is a bit misleading because a description is not
mandatory. In your situation, Option "num:t" would be sufficient to
produce something.

If you look at it, this will not appear in the (PDF) output as there's
nothing to refer to, much like what happens in ox-texinfo.
In any case, what exactly do you suggest in this situation, i.e., what
should be displayed?

Displaying a silly link is a call for an action (to fix). So, from
fixability perspective, having a silly anchor is better than pruning
it from output.

I understand that the error is in the OPTIONs that I have and I need
to fix the Org file. Your argument is sound. (BUT) Having some
feedback that something is amisss is always desirable.

I see a red box (which is an urgent call for action).

How about @ref{orgtarget1}?

ps: I can send in fixes. I have a copyright assignment. WDYT?

I'd rather not expose internals to the user. Also, displaying
"orgtarget1" in an info file would be more confusing than helpful.
Anyway, I changed a bit the behaviour for targets. Let me know what you
think (or anyone else using this export back-end for that matter) about
it.

You can send fixes along with your reports. A concrete proposal along
with the report is also fine.
