Users are reporting that VE is still not saving multiple references:

Reported today by The Devil's Advocate
if I add multiple citations to back a statement, the Visual Editor only saves
the first citation I added. This happened once when I added three citations to
back a claim and had to add each one individually over the course of three
edits and again just now when I had to add a second citation after it didn't
get saved. Multiple citations can be added if they are separate as I had added
a citation for another statement in the same edit and it was saved.

Reported on the 22nd by Sue Gardner
Last night I created a new article with multiple references, and when I saved
the page many of the references disappeared and some I think had jumped around.
(I didn't save-as-I-went -- I wrote the whole thing and saved once, at the
end.) I can't describe exactly what happened, but here's a diff: [1] the latest
revision [2] is roughly what I was aiming to do, and the earlier revision [3]
is what I actually achieved. (Ignore the missing reflist: I just hadn't gotten
around to figuring out how to add it in VE yet, so I did it afterwards in wiki
syntax.)

So, in my initial VE save, it looks like references #5, 6 & 7 disappeared as
did #14 and 15. (Numbers taken from the latest revision.) This suggests to me
there's a problem with VE saving multiple adjacent references -- when there are
multiples adjacent, it seems to save only the first. I think also some
references jumped around, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
