A bit much to put in the description, but the problem is about item level holds
failing to be placed silently in the OPAC.

To test:

With the sample data in ktd or sandboxes:

1) Enforce library transfer limits (UseBranchTransferLimits) on itemtypes
(BranchTransferLimitsType).
2) In administration > branch transfer rules:
   disallow transfer from Midway to any other library for item type BK (Books)
3) Search for a record with at least one item in Midway in staff
4) Try to place an item level hold on a Midway item.
   I used: Intermediate Perl, biblionumber 126
   For the Midway item, only Midway will show as possible pickup-location
   This is correct.
5) Switch to the OPAC
6) Try to place an item level hold there on the Midway item, for pick-up at  
   Centerville.
7) Place a hold on the Midway item for pick-up at any non-Midway location
8) Verify the page saves without error, but the hold was not placed.

-
The basic issue here is that item specific pickup locations != record-specific
pickup locations.

In the staff interface we have a separate pull down "allowed pick-up locations"
for each item in the list. I think we should implement the same in the OPAC to
help the users see what is allowed and what not. And deacticate the pull down
on top when an item is selected.

But: At least we should give proper feedback that a hold could not be placed
because of the pick-up location instead of failing silently!
