Conditional Build Tags Break Links

Hi all,
I have a solid, 3-years old, RHX5 project that works fine.
Delivering a part of it using conditional build tags, I found out that some of links are broken.
The topics configuration looks like this:

Parent topic - with a link to several child topics

(many) Child topic(s) - each with a link to the parent topic

Now, using conditional build tags, all of the topics go to the main deliverable and are marked accordingly.
Some of the topics go to the secondary deliverable. This includes the parent topic and some of the child topics.
So, the parent topic is marked with both tags, and the links that point at topics that doesn't belong to the secondary deliverable are tagged accordingly. This part works fine.
The links that belong to both deliverables are tagged with both tags. Some of them - not all - are broken.
In these cases, a child topic exists in the deliverable, but the link from the parent topic is broken.
I have deleted all links and written them anew. This did not solve the problem.
Where elese should I look into?

Thanks in advance (please help the poor writer regain his weekend :-)

It's a CHM file.
I'll create a demo project and send it to the forum.

No it is number of characters that can be the issue.

Let me ask again, can you create this in a new project? It would be much easier for me to see the problem.

I have shortened the path names. It did not solve the problem.
Do you recommend to use less folders (to flaten the folder structure)?

Try shortening those paths.

Copy the project and then rename the folders.

Try making the links relative rather than absolute.

Crazy!

Could you post the HTML for the two links?

You will not find the answer to this one on my site. If you go to the second topic first and then click the link to what was the first topic, does it work then?

Can you create this in a test project?

Well...
- Going to topic 1, clikcing the link to topic 2. Then, at topic 2, clicking a link to topic 1 - the link is broken.
- Going to topic 2 (via the index, for example) and clicking the link to topic 1 - the link works.
