I'm sorry that my initial e-mail wasn't very clear. Over the weekend, I found the solution:
I am creating a docbook (article). When I was setting the ID attribute, I was setting it for the wrong part of the document (I was selecting the title, when I should have been selecting the section). For clarification, what I meant by "the linkend is being converted correctly" was that the linkend appeared as a bookmark hyperlink in the HTML conversion, which tells me I had configured it in the XML document correctly. I appreciate you asking me to clarify my post... fortunately, it was just a little confusion on my part!
