I see two problems here: the concatenation of the author names  
with ';' in the first case, and the missing space between the  
initials.

The first should not occur, it is an error according to the  
bibtex rules.

The second is, in fact, a matter of convention: in English  
typography, one prefers to write A.B., in German A.\,B.

In any case, this is not an issue with the bibtex module, but  
with the import module; which one do you use (usually)?
