Doxygen: \todo ignores EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS

[eseiler]

With the current doxygen release (1.8.18 (a1b07ad0e92e4526c9ba1711d39f06b58c2a7459)) I am encountering an unexpected behavior when mixing \todo with EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS.

Consider the following code:

namespace detail
{
    /*!\brief Description.
     * \todo Write me.
     */
    struct foo{};
}

Using the standard Doxyfile, doxygen works fine and the documentation works as expected. The Todo page shows the todo description and links to the struct.

Setting EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS = detail creates the warning todo:1: warning: expected <dt> tag but found <p> instead! and the Todo page shows only the description without any link.

As far as I understand, the \todo should be ignored since detail::foo is excluded?

Attached you find the failing example.
