Don't know about this.

As I understand referencing, this is the expected behaviour. I think 
that \in{..}{..}[...] was for things like

As seen in \in{Figure}{a}[fig]...

that is when you want to refer to a subfigure (or a subformula). That is 
why there is no space between the number and the content in the second 
{..}

This is what core-ref.tex says

%D \placefigure
%D   [here][three calls]
%D   {Three alternatives reference calls.}
%D   {\startcombination[1*3]
%D      {\framed{\type{ \in }}} {a}
%D      {\framed{\type{ \at }}} {b}
%D      {\framed{\type{\goto}}} {c}
%D    \stopcombination}
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \in figure[fig:three calls]
%D \in{figure}[fig:three calls]
%D \in figure a[fig:three calls]
%D \in{figure}{a}[fig:three calls]
%D figure~\in[fig:three calls]
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D This turns up as:
%D
%D \startlines
%D \getbuffer
%D \stoplines

I was not aware of that the braces around figure can be omitted!
