PDF file when using XeLaTeX and bibtex is missing references.

[martisak]

Problem

The content of the PDF file in the root directory is incorrect, it is missing references.

The PDF file in latex.out is correct.

Minimum working example

Compile with ./latexrun --latex-cmd xelatex --bibtex-cmd bibtex --debug mwe.tex.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
    @article{einstein,
        author = {Albert Einstein},
        title = {the true about tree},
        journaltitle = {Annalen der Physik},
        year = {1905},
        volume = {322},
        number = {10},
        pages = {891--921}
    }
\end{filecontents}
\bibliographystyle{plain}

\begin{document}

Lorem ipsum~\cite{einstein}.

\bibliography{mwe}
\end{document}
