There seems to be an issue with how the "Link Validation" scheduled job defines what is a broken link.
How to reproduce:
Add pages to a contentarea
Delete one of the pages that is added to the contentarea (and possibly the trash needs to be emptied). The deleted page is now no longer visible in the contentarea.
Run link validation tool and check result in the "Link status" report.
The "link" to the deleted page is now reported as broken. Which is a bit confusing because if you go to the page with the contentarea everything looks good, no broken references.
If the editor e.g. re-order the pages in the content area (actually just need to move it to the same place), and then re-run the link validation tool, there is no "broken" link anymore.
Nor really sure how it should work, but the current way is not very good :-). We have a client that have hundreds of these "broken" links in the Link status report.
