I think this just happened to me on the Danish Wikipedia?
I used my userpage as a sandbox https://da.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bruger:Elitre_(WMF)&action=history, and the edits in which I tried to add references do not show up in the history, although I managed to save them and also got the message that confirms this.

(For the record, I was trying to reproduce https://da.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=F-35_Lightning_II&diff=prev&oldid=7409486 and https://da.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enhedslisten&diff=prev&oldid=7414100 , where there might be a connection between adding a reference and getting a duplicated infobox).

Moved my comments to bug 59599 and bug 59600.
