I have tracked down the problem - it is a conflict with SuperBoomerang.
The full story is that on an SE with System 6.0.5 + Finder 6.1.5 +
SuperBoomerang 3.0.2, (with or without the accelerator), the import format
list does *not* include Pro-Cite.  Having omitted that, the Refer format
becomes the first on the list and it gets confused with the Pro-Cite 
(which is normally first).

The conflict with SuperBoomerang does not occur on a IIci with System 7.
