That's because the referencing section isn't flexible enough (yet).
It's also not possible to have multiple footnotes sections, for
example. Perhaps some more magic words would help:
{{EXPANDREFS}} - render <ref>foo</ref> as [foo] or something, until
further notice.
{{URLSTOREFS}} - automatically convert [
http://foo.com] to something
like <ref>http://foo.com</ref>. This would solve the problem of talk
pages, as that tag wouldn't be present on the talk page, so it would
render normally...
(that second magic word might have to be reworded, it's pretty unreadable :)

It would be better, I think, to have a namespace-based variable for
"old / current style", "convert to new inline form", and "convert
to a
<ref> tag".
New inline on Wikipedia: and Talk: and User / User talk:, convert to
ref tag on article space?
Perhaps allow an inline keyword override, but a default to "do the
right contextual thing" which is almost certainly correctly based on
the namespace seems like the first thing to do if you're going to do
anything here...
