Yeah.  This is caused by a hyperlink whose displayed text crosses a page
boundary.  The only known fix is to change the text enough so the link
no longer runs across a page boundary.  Unfortunately, pdfTeX is pretty
unhelpful about identifying exactly where the problem is.  I seem to
recall having posted a recipe about finding such problems.
