Bibtex citation not working for some IOP DOIs #89

IOP is having some more concerns about DOIs related to that hugely hyped black hole picture that was all over the place recently. The BibTeX citation formatting isn’t working for them.
10.3847/2041-8213/ab0ec7
10.3847/2041-8213/ab0c96
10.3847/2041-8213/ab0c57
10.3847/2041-8213/ab0e85
10.3847/2041-8213/ab0f43
10.3847/2041-8213/ab1141

The problem is that the citation formatting service doesn’t work for them. If you ask for BibTeX from it, you get a blank response

curl -LH “Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex” http://dx.doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/ab0c96

and if you ask for some other formats, you get an error message: curl -LH “Accept: text/bibliography; style=harvard1" http://dx.doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/ab0c96 returns a Java stack trace.

There’s a ‘BibTeX’ button on the article home page on IOPscience that tries to use this functionality, so it’s broken for these articles.

I can also confirm this by using search.crossref.org and trying Actions>Cite for the above DOIs.
