Thanks, the following seems to be working.  Perhaps the filter function
should be added to ox-bibtex.el?

    (defun org-bibtex-group-citations (text backend info)
      "Convert begin/end{verbatim} to begin/end{Verbatim}.
      Allows use of the fancyvrb latex package."
      (with-temp-buffer
        (insert text) (goto-char (point-min))
        (cond
         ((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
          (while (re-search-forward
                  "\\\\cite{\\([^[:space:]\n\r]+\\)}[[:space:]\n\r]*\\\\cite{"
                  nil t)
            (replace-match "\\\\cite{\\1,")
            (goto-char (point-min))))
         ((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'html)
          (while (re-search-forward
                  "\\(#[[:alnum:]]+\">[0-9]+<\/a>\\)\\][[:space:]\n\r]*\\[\\(<a href=\"#[[:alnum:]]+\">[0-9]+<\/a>\\)"
                  nil t)
            (replace-match "\\1,\\2")
            (goto-char (point-min)))))
        (buffer-string)))

    (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-final-output-functions
                 'org-bibtex-group-citations)

Cheers,
