[XeTeX] (x)dvipdfmx replaces link destinations with integers. Why?

I think the problem here is that @token is used by the driver to reference a PDF object.
For example,

\special{pdf:obj @pdfOBJ PDF_Code1}
\special{pdf:obj PDF_Code2}  %here PDF_Code2 contains @pdfOBJ 

In PDF_Code2 every reference to @pdfOBJ will be replaced by a reference to the
object that contais PDF_code1.
