But who knows :-) ? After all, it comes from your patch on bug 19578...

It's more archeology than IT. You isolated in C4::Letters:

$val =~ s/\p{P}$// if $val && $table=~/biblio/;

Which itself come from bug 9886.

Removing trailing ponctuation characters in biblio.title could make sense in
MARC21 catalog, but not in UNIMARC. In MARC21, ISBD cataloging rules prescribe
to add a ponctuation if you have subtitle: $aPrivate eyeballs :$ba golden
treasury of bad taste. So biblio.title end with ' :'. It's not the case in
UNIMARC. Furthermore, now that we have biblio.subtitle, even in MARC21 removing
trailing ponctuation may be an issue.

There may be several options:

1) Suppress any trailing ponctuation character curation.
2) Remove ponctuation less aggressively, just :,;. for example.
