... which is the way it should be, no? The problem of the original
poster is that these entries should not appear in the bibliography
despite being in the .bib file, because they aren't mentionned at all
in the main text.

I can confirm this issue. I have run into myself in typesetting my thesis.

Taco, if it can help you track down the bug, IIRC, this problem
appeared sometime around beginning of October, though the bib module
of previous versions of mkIV had other bugs that made it unusable
(such as sorting by author not working).

Also, there is another bug in the bib module, which i find very
strange. If we augment the OP's .bib file with two more entries, and
cite those, then one of them does *not* appear in the bibliography
despite being cited. It also creates a big blank in the bibliography.
Here's a minimal example. bib file attached. In my real thesis
bibliography (over 200 entries), there are several such entries
missing and several big blanks of varying sizes in the Bibliography
section.

Regards,

Mathieu

\section{Main Body}
This file is for testing whether the bibliography works. There seems
to be some problem.

Let us first cite \cite[Aghion1991], then we will cite
\cite[authoryears][Trefler1993].

In the new para we cite: \cite[Segal2003]

Now let's cite two more articles: the old  \cite[reynolds:defints1972]
and the new \cite[reynolds:defints].
