By trying to generate the MWE I think I found the culprit. Perhaps
nothing to do with 11.89.6 but could have happend before as well.

The described behaviour is observed when there are multiply defined
labels.

When I compile the following MWE by "C-c C-a" it ends up with undefined
references (one LaTeX run too few):

\documentclass{article}
\begin{filecontents}{test-a.bib}
@Article{reed:1958:398,
author       = {Reed, John},
title        = {The Multiple Branch Waveguide Coupler},
journal      = {IRE Trans. Microw. Theory Techn.},
year         = {1958},
volume       = {6},
number       = {4},
pages        = {398--403},
month        = {Apr},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
Test \cite{reed:1958:398}
\begin{figure}
  \caption{Caption A}
  \label{fig:A}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
  \caption{Caption B}
  \label{fig:A}
\end{figure}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{test-a}
\end{document}
