Aha, but I didn't redefine \bibitem itself, rather I defined something else
that reduces to the plain LaTeX \bibitem, except when a jump from one
section to another occurs, in which case it adds my insertion.

Anyway, you could still simply use the insertion I suggested in place of
your \item[]{\large\bf whatever}, which should sort out the left-hand
alignment problem.  Or am I missing something.
