Due to how MediaWiki's messages system works, changes to the display styles need to be copied into each of the ~300 display languages for users, else those users with different languages will see different reference styles on the same page.
That sounds like bug T33216, which was fixed a while ago. Does this actually occur now?
Though I'm not completely sure this is the one in question, for quite some time there has been a known issue[1] with the way MediaWiki's message fallback chain is implemented. A patch[2] to fix this was posted for review, and I left some comments on it almost a year ago. There have been no updates since.
