This was a change made in T211576: Cite silently ignores all parameters in <ref> with more than two parameters to core, but never ported to Parsoid (see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/481883).

It appears that core cite no longer ignores refs with more than 2 parameters, and parsoid cite never did inherit this (bug). In discussion with Arlo, we find parsoid cite correct as is, but also find we could add an error case for illegal parameters instead of just ignoring them.
