page breaking and \hypertarget again

An issue discussed briefly earlier on this forum 
(https://groups.google.com/d/topic/pandoc-discuss/IR7nL7lEHpc/discussion) 
still seems to exist and seems to require a solution at the pandoc-citeproc 
level. 

Essentially, the problem is that the \hypertarget{ref-soandso} inserted in 
front of entries in the bibliography has the counterintuitive and obviously 
undesirable side effect of preventing page breaks between entries--only 
within them. That is, if you have a reference occupying two lines in the 
bibliography followed by half a page of single-line items and then another 
multi-line entry, the resulting PDF will have a page break between the two 
lines of the first entry followed by simple whitespace for the rest of the 
page. In other words, it's an absolute refusal to allow the page break to 
come between "paragraphs" in the bibliography, no matter how much 
whitespace gets left behind as a result--obviously a ridiculous result.

I'm sure there's a workaround. The solution offered in the discussion 
linked above was to place this just before the bibliography: 

\let\oldhypertarget\hypertarget

\renewcommand{\hypertarget}[2]{%
    \leavevmode%
    \oldhypertarget{#1}{#2}%
}

<div id=“refs”></div>

Doing so, however, in turn has the unexpected effect of messing with the 
left alignment of some references--many are still where they should be, 
while others are indented random amounts. So that's not great either. I'm 
not sure why \leavevmode is having this effect, if it is, but, again, not 
acceptable. 

Anyone have a solution to this problem? I'd hesitate to call it a bug, but 
it is certainly not how things should be.
