My apologies Francois.  I have fixed this issue in the latest development 
version of PocketBib, and have submitted this as version 1.1.2 to Apple.  It 
usually takes a little over a week for updates to be reviewed. If you sign up 
for my testing list (http://tflig.ht/nkm6Mx), you can get early access.

Also, I'm currently working on improving import speed for a later update, so 
would you mind sending me a copy of your BibTeX library to help me with testing 
and benchmarking?

Cheers,
Graham
