Using {{#tag:references|group=x}} fails with the above message. See also bug 15770.
Workaround: use double pipes, as in {{#tag:references||group=x}}
The 'Cite error references invalid input' error check was removed from cite.php around April 2013 so the error display no longer exists. {{#tag:references|group=x}} still fails but does not display. The issue here is in how #tag parses <references>. The content *must* be defined first, then any parameters— empty content is acceptable.

That should be: {{#tag:references|group=x}} still fails but triggers the 'Cite error group refs without references' message.
