Thanks for raising this issue in the first place.

Yes, sorry, my bad.  I misremembered what we talked about up-thread.

TBH, I'm reluctant about changing code which served well for more than a
decade.  And IIRC, we're talking about some corner cases.  So my vote is
to leave this now as is.  I'm afraid that someone will come back to us
and says: I use bibtex and have a .tex file like this:

  \documentclass{article}
  \bibliographystyle{plain}
  \begin{document}
  Text
  \bibliography{biblatex-bib1}
  \bibliography{biblatex-bib2}
  \end{document}

And now, RefTeX shows me also not usable entries from biblatex-bib2.bib.

Best, Arash
