I suspect the used conventions are somewhat corrupted.
The entry you are referring to is the shortname, used for references in 
the LaTeX source. It's usually a shortcut of the author's name plus some 
counter, usually the year and (if necessary) a serial number.
With some entries it seems to be shortname+2-digit-year, e.g. "hanwen06" 
for a text from 2006.

This scheme is used for the first three entries in we-wrote.bib, but not 
for the remaining ones, where it seems the number is only the serial number.

I think the right syntax in this case would be "acim13", while "acim01" 
would be consistent with the same number of entries.
