Hi,

I found a partial answer.

Typo here, the package name is actually refstyle.

The commit 4bbc054 introduces a variable org-latex-prefer-user-labels.
which is reponsible for this behaviour.  Setting this variable to t
doesn't entirely solve my problem though.  Normal targets like
<<par:interesting>> are still altered.

I think the docstring hints at that already.

  For headlines that do not define the CUSTOM_ID property or elements
  without a NAME, Org will continue to use its default labeling scheme
  to generate labels and resolve links into proper references.

I guess a bare target is an element without a NAME.  I find this a bit
strange, since the user already adds the target manually.  So I think it
is already the user's responsibility to ensure it is consistent.
Shouldn't then Org leave this unchanged?

Thanks,
