The latex2e writer outputs `\label{}` for tables after `\end{longtable}`. This is incorrect causing the table referencing to end up with empty reference text rather than the table number. The author of the `longtable` latex package suggest putting the `\label{}` inside the caption itself `\caption{My caption \label{mylabel}}` or inside the table body. The latter option has the added benefit of working for tables without a caption. I've attached a proposed fix.
`longtable` package documentation can be found at https://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools/longtable.pdf. See page 4 and 5 about the discussion on labeling.
