It is. References are generated if and only if you leave the In-Reply-To
header as-is during editing. When removing it and when changing it
(either change the message-id, add one, replace them, etc.) mutt doesn't
generate a References header as it doesn't know the parent message.
When In-Reply-To contains more than one message-id, it will never
generate References as the standard explicitely leaves semantics for
that case out.

Before editing the message, mutt knows the original message(s) and can
generate a References: header. In-Reply-To is only used as it's more
user-friendly for editing. Generating References: from In-Reply-To:
would mean to lookup the parent message by message-id in the mailbox
first -- mutt doesn't do that.
