In previous threads the conclusion has been that that error occurs when
linked text crosses a page boundary.  So whether it occurs for any
particular build depends on whether that happens due to mere chance.
For example maybe if you just add a couple words before the broken text,
it will cause the linked text to move enough that it all goes on the
next page.

Supposedly TeXLive 2013 fixed that bug, but evidently not, or not
completely.  Perhaps we could have the TeXLive developers look at the
current problem.  But I don't know whether the bug is openjade's or
pdftex' ...

You can have a look at the tex source file by doing "make
postgres-A4.tex-pdf".  But it's pretty obscure.
