I assume they output ??, but I am not sure. The problem is not
impossible, it is just that my implementation of crossreferencing
is giving me problems. I should warn you: since there is only
a problem in the module if there is a problem in the input also
(so to say), rewriting large sections of the module to fix the
lack of error reporting is not very high on my todo list.

If you have several unknown references in a paragraph, then something
like (Xxxxx, 0000) will give you a closer approximation of the running
length of the final paragraph than just ??. The difference can easily
make a paragraph one line longer or shorter, thus influencing page
breaks and float placement.

Best,
