Thanks for the samples. The problem is that .aux files are a true
mess, latex just dumps stuff in there at any time, so there's no
organization (apart from having lines). The parsing in BD was assuming
some kind of organization of the citations, which sometimes is there
and sometimes isn't. So I just removed that assumption for the next
nightly. THe downside is that it will only work for the standard
citation mechanism (I'm not talking about \cite or something, but
about some internal commands you won't deal with yourself, \bibcite to
be exact), so when you use some special .sty files associated to the
bibliography, it may not work.
