Cite normally takes those tags, removes them an relocates them to the location of the <references /> tag. I'm guessing here, but what I think happens is that extension Cite only does this in the parsing stage, so in the preprocessing stage nothing is processed. Perhaps somebody with parser and Cite knowledge can elaborate a bit more on this?
