Thanks, I will wait a day or so to see if Matt also gives a feedback; I
would then apply a patch.

You can run `reftex-citation' with NO-INSERT argument.  Try this snippet
in a file of yours, it should do the trick:

    (insert "\n" (mapconcat (lambda (key)
                              (format "{%s}" key))
                            (reftex-citation t)
                            ""))

You can again mark the bib-items with `m' and close with RET.

Best, Arash
