Hrm, I've just got bitten by this, I just entered "mbanck" as username
in the referencer preferences, and got an Authentication Error on
stderr. Changing it to "ourl_mbanck" made CrossRef lookups work fine.

Would it be possible to catch this in references, i.e., prepend the
username automatically with "ourl_" if it does not have that already?

Otherwise, I just uploaded referencer-1.1.0 to Debian unstable, and I
really like it a lot!
