I put it in the form of a question, because I'm not sure, but ...

1. I wasn't sure Nicolas was aware of this config option, nor how one
would configure it currently (but it seems necessary in general)
2. If you set default to autocite=inline, which is to say the
non-bare/plain style, the issue you note goes away?

OK, this is one of those nuances; I need to think on this one.
