Description

Steps to reproduce:

Create an article with the following content (https://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=VE-Ref-Test&oldid=22274):

a<ref name="foo"/>

<references>
<ref name="foo">Foo</ref>
</references>

Edit in VE, and remove the reference, and add a different one instead (https://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=VE-Ref-Test&diff=22275&oldid=22274).

Expected:
The named reference should be deleted.

Actual:
The named reference, now unused, is kept and causes an error that wasn't visible while editing (https://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=VE-Ref-Test&oldid=22275).

Hopefully Parsoid will take over the handling of references, so kicking this can down the road for them to deal with.
