I am not sure if I consider this a bug. In a typical use case, \reference will have a value, e.g., \reference[abc]{whatever}. In that case, if you use \in{Text}[abc], there should be a non-breakable space between "Text" and "whatever". You appear to be abusing the reference system by giving an empty reference. I think that usin \goto is better in this case rather than adding a check to \in for an atypical use case. Aditya
