It might not be this at all, but one possible reason is related to the
change of the counter used in the thebibliography environment from enumi
to enumiv. This is change #197 in latex.bug, and was incorporated in all
or Rainer Schoepf's versions of LaTeX from December 1991 onwards.

The references in latex.tex and the style files that define thebibliography
have to be kept in step in this respect. So you might get this effect if

 1. You had updated latex.tex but not (say) article.sty, or vice versa,
    from a 1991+ LaTeX distribution. But no-one would be stupid enough to
    do partial installs, would they?

 2. You are using a style file based on the old standard style files, using
    enumi, but with a 1991+ version of LaTeX.

 3. You are using a style file based on the new standard style files, using
    enumiv, but with a 1991- version of LaTeX.
