Pandoc doesn't parse TeX figures unless they contain an image

[jech]

Consider the following TeX document:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
Figure body
\end{center}
\caption{Figure caption}\label{fig1}
\end{figure}
See Figure~\ref{fig1} for details.
\end{document}

When converted to HTML, this gives:

<div class="center">
<p>Figure body</p>
</div>
<p>See Figure <a href="#fig1" data-reference-type="ref"
data-reference="fig1">[fig1]</a> for details.</p>

Two issues:

• the caption has disappeared;
• the link points at a label that no longer exists.

Thanks for the report. This is related to, and a direct consequence of, #3177; closing in favor of that issue. See the end of that thread for current progress.
