It never did that.

There's a newline in the middle of the DOI in the paper.  The DOI regex is
picking up another DOI later on which has the 'junk' on it.  Regexing out
DOIs is always going to be a bit hit and miss.

The principle of least surprise is in action here.  Most people I know
would write Gruber06 rather than Gr\"uber06.  However, there is no general
way to map accented-latin characters into english characters, so
referencer leaves them alone.  Converting non-ascii characters into their
latex equivalent wouldn't be appropriate for key names, since they're
never typeset.  I know there are things like ss for ß and ae for æ, oe  
for ø, but my knowledge is pretty special-case for that.  I wonder if  
there's an ISO standard?
