Sorry for not replying to your earlier message.

The current bib module does not support changing the color of links. The 
color=darkgreen was a local change that I did in my copy of t-bib. So, 
color=darkgreen should just be silently ignored. However, compress=no does 
affect the output of the \cite command but I do not understand why it 
changes things like like Aumann and Hart (...) instead of (Aumann and 
Hard, ... ).

Can you try to create a minimal example just using the bib 
module specific setups?
