Thanks for reporting. I would kindly ask you to use the built-in info plugin as mentioned in our bug reporting guidelines and this issue template the next time, as it contains essential information on the runtime and environment, as well as installed packages. I'll try to investigate this issue nonetheless, but it makes my work more challenging.

Confirmed, this is related to the built-in typeset plugin, which keeps the custom elements with id attributes inside the headlines. While this is not intended (= we must remove them), I understand that you want to set custom id values for headlines, correct? The idiomatic way to do this is to use the Attribute Lists extension:

## What is Lorem Ipsum? { #s1 }

This also means no further element is necessary and will fix the problem reported.

Fixed in 5ae0aaefb. The typeset plugin should now remove all ids inside the content of headlines (which have ids themselves as mentioned above) before injecting them into the table of contents or navigation. This will ensure that ids are unique and restore linking functionality. However, as said in #5241 (comment), Attribute Lists are a better bet 😀
