This problem has been answered approximately one zillion times here.
The trick is that labels, references, citation, etc. are created as
deactived nodes. You need to press enter to activate them.

This information is given in the footer when creating such nodes from
the menu, it is also explained in the manual in one of the early
chapters.

In preamble mode, such elements are created activated, so once you
switch back to normal mode everything is okay without needing to
explicitely activate the elements. But you should not use preamble
mode for anything else than stylesheets.

Yes, that would really be a good thing, if only there were people with
enough knowledge of texmacs *and* enough free time...
