When you insert a reference in the middle of a bolded word, the reference itself doesn't receive a bold annotation, and so the resulting text is something like '''He'''<ref name="hello" />'''llo''', with the bold breaking around the reference. When we insert inline nodes like references from the UI, they should take annotations. This is probably a wider problem beyond just references.
The dialogs generate insertion transactions directly with newFromInsertion, and have no insertion annotation logic.
Also, I'm not sure this is desirable behaviour.
