Use xml/System.Linq/Queryable.xml and the linked pull-request example as the reproduction case. Trace the conversion of the markup, then verify that the resulting output preserves the backtick in xref:System.Linq.IOrderedQueryable`1.

This markdown is:

<see cref="T:System.Linq.IOrderedQueryable`1>

But should've been:

<xref:System.Linq.IOrderedQueryable`1>
