There's certainly something screwy with Endnote, as the bibtex it
exports is invalid. Importing using temporary cite keys tries to fix
that, but that does not always work. Though BibDesk should warn when
it fails.
Alex Montgomery has a better bibtex export style that you might want
to use instead of Endnotes buggy built-in one, see <
