Dear all,

The issue is solved.

First of all, a svn update fixed the problem. (I was lagging the svn
version by a couple of months).

Second, I was kindly pointed to the fact that the bib- prefix is
probably for the /internal reference/ in the document to the
bibliographic key, and not for the key itself. The relevant file is
src/Typeset/Env/env_exec.cpp, where you can uncomment a line (1586)
that will cause the citation number to be printed to the console.

Third, I don't get the package cite-author-year to fully work
(question marks appear in the reference (2, ?), even after three
updates), and I didn't find documentation for it, but I'll eventually
find out what's wrong from the style file.

Many thanks to Marc Mezzarroba for the bib- hint and to Miguel de
Benito for general assistance,


-á.
