This has probably been raised before (is there a bug for it?), but it appears to me that it would be significantly more user-friendly to append a <references/> section at the bottom of the text that is being parsed when it is missing.
This would
- make it easier for new users to discover referencing functionality
(oldbies could still properly reformat the tag);
- solve the "references missing in section preview" problem.
There is a workaround that was originally here:

Which has now moved to:

It was copied to en.wp.
