The reason is probably the change of counter used was changed from
enumi to enumiv in the bibliography environment. Have look at the
following definition from art10.doc. It is important to reset
\p@enumiv and \theenumiv. (I did this wrong myself when I made the
change to the standard document styles.)

\def\thebibliography#1{\section*{\refname\@mkboth
  {\uppercase{\refname}}{\uppercase{\refname}}}\list
  {\@biblabel{\arabic{enumiv}}}{\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}%
    \leftmargin\labelwidth
    \advance\leftmargin\labelsep
    \usecounter{enumiv}%
    \let\p@enumiv\@empty
    \def\theenumiv{\arabic{enumiv}}}%
    \def\newblock{\hskip .11em plus.33em minus.07em}%
    \sloppy\clubpenalty4000\widowpenalty4000
    \sfcode`\.=1000\relax}

Rainer was right on the money.  This was exactly my problem.
I was missing the lines:
    \let\p@enumiv\@empty
    \def\theenumiv{\arabic{enumiv}}
from my definition of \thebibliography.  Note that I have been using
this style at our school for some time, so this problem turned up only
with the more recent versions of LaTeX/NFSS.

Thanks to all who replied to my message.
