Description
The following MCE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{varwidth}
% \usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\begin{varwidth}[t]{.5\linewidth}
\section{A Section}\label{sec:section}
Cf. section \ref{sec:section}.
\end{varwidth}
\end{document}
is okay but, as soon as hyperref is loaded, it triggers (twice) the following warning:
Package varwidth Warning: Failed to reprocess entire contents on input line 8.

Research direction
Start by compiling the minimal example with varwidth and then with hyperref enabled, confirming the warning appears twice. Compare both runs and trace the interaction that produces “Failed to reprocess entire contents”; done means the example compiles without that warning when hyperref is loaded.
