Yeah, AbuseFilter works in adding/removing lines, so it counts the whole line as being added/removed and runs the filter against that. As for the filter, it isn't triggering due to the refs, its triggering due to Richard's name, as mentioned above by Shana. So its kinda not a false positive as its not incorrectly matching, and is working as intended (preventing users from using said words), but its also a false positive, since its supposed to match bad faith uses, not someone's name. Also, were you able to get all parts of your edit to go through or is there still some parts that need editing?
