Yes, it is, I can see the message
   RUNNING BIBTEX ON ./hoat.aux...
passing on output.

Actually I found the problem, but I don't have a good solution yet.
I just realized by manual experimentation that my latex sources need  
to be recompiled twice before the bbl can take effect, i.e.,

pdflatex hoat
bibtex hoat
pdflatex hoat
pdflatex hoat

I don't know why it is like this (e.g., if it depends on something bad  
in my latex sources) and how to detect the need of this ulterior  
recompilation (emacs seems to be able to do that, that's probably why  
I never noticed this fact before).
