As a follow up to this question and moewe's answer, I am trying to figure out why the citation labels in the annotated bibliography are not printed correctly. Here's the MWE:
\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[sorting=ynt, backend=biber, style=numeric-comp]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\assignrefcontextentries*[sorting=nyt, labelprefix=A]{*}
\newtoggle{showannotation}
\toggletrue{showannotation}
\renewbibmacro*{finentry}{%
\iftoggle{showannotation}
{\setunit{\par}%
\printfield{annotation}}
{}%
\finentry}
\setlength{\bibitemsep}{.5\baselineskip}
\setlength{\bibparsep}{.5\bibitemsep}
\newlength{\bibparindent}
\setlength{\bibparindent}{0pt}
\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
{\list
{\printtext[labelnumberwidth]{%
\printfield{labelprefix}%
\printfield{labelnumber}}}
{\setlength{\labelwidth}{\labelnumberwidth}%
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
\setlength{\labelsep}{\biblabelsep}%
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
\setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
\setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}%
\setlength{\listparindent}{\bibparindent}}%
\renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{\hss##1}}
{\endlist}
{\item}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}

Now if I want to see [4, 5] instead of [A4, A5] (get rid of the A), so as moewe mentioned, the natural way to do that would be to remove labelprefix=A in assignrefcontextentries. However, when I do that, the reference labels are not printed correctly (my own labels are printed: [ref4, ref5]). I've attached a screenshot. I do not understand why having a label prefix would confuse biblatex from printing the cite labels.
