You're right. The link from the entry text to the page was only added on 2022-12-03; before that, only the page number was linkized. I have attempted a fix (024a4e8bb3, 2024-10-28). I have tested it with a few manuals. However, with code as gnarly as this there is a good chance I have missed some corner case. Thanks for the report and please let us know if there any other problems.
