Bingo, but I have been extra careful cleaning up (too long to go into)
in my 4 months OTJ here. I haven't deleted any tags. I will, later, but
that's after I hire 2-3 additional writers. These books were constructed
by an unknown number of contract writers over the course of 6+ years.
There are many "duplicate" named tags, and many tags that have the same
functions, but follow some writer's personal naming convention. For
these reasons, I have put off cleaning my catalogs.

Format names (among other things) are case-sensitive in FM, so
"emphasis" and "Emphasis" are two different character formats. FM's
default character catalog (what you get when you create a new "Blank
Paper" document) includes "Emphasis."
Your example ("To learn how to configure these views, see
<emphasis>Configuring Views, on page 189.") does indeed look like a
non-existent character format is specified in the cross-reference
definition, as Linda suggested. Maybe your character catalog includes
"Emphasis," but not "emphasis."
HTH!
