What I think is happening here is that we're using rST's syntax for definition lists [1]. automarkup.py ignores literal nodes, and perhaps a definition is considered a literal by Sphinx. Adding a blank line after the Documentation/... or removing the additional indentation makes it work, like you did in your 2nd and 3rd patch, since then it's not a definition anymore, although then the visual output is different as well. I'm not sure this is something we need to fix. Does it make sense to use definition lists for links like that? If it does, I guess one option would be to whitelist definition lists so they aren't ignored by automarkup, but I feel this could get ugly really quickly. FWIW note that it's also possible to use relative paths to docs with automarkup.
