Yes.  It is.  

I don't use this binding.  I use evil mode and don't like chorded
commands.  I have org-ref-insert-cite-link bound to ", r" but that's
beside the point, in any case.

No.  I get prompted for the expression to search for and then I get
prompted for an optional argument and the final text inserted in my org
buffer is \cite{....}, not cite:....

I do tangle and then eval-buffer just to make sure I have the right code
loaded.

Well, I obviously have something not quite configured properly in my
environment.  The cite: text is highlighted as a link in the org buffer
(as it should with org-highlight-links set) but is treated as simple
text when exported so that I simply get "cite:..." in the latex
output.  If I "C-c C-l" it and don't add a description, the org buffer
*looks* the same but the export works because org and/or the exporter
know that it's a link.

Is there some org variable I have not set that tells org to treat cite:
plain text as a link on export?  Obviously org already recognises it as
a link but the export doesn't...  org-link-protocols and org-link-types
look fine.

I am most puzzled... :(

By the way, in my use case, even if the above would work properly, it
would still definitely help if the [[...]] were inserted as I sometimes
use superscript indices and in those cases I do not want any whitespace
between the text and the citation that follows.  Anyway, this is
secondary.

thanks,
