Thanks for testing. I see what you mean. Note that the itemtype is filled in
under Catalog details, but indeed it is not under Item. This behavior is only
when AcqCreateItem=placing an order. If you set AcqCreateItem to receiving or
cataloging, you will have no problems.

As I see it now, the behavior under "placing an order" is another bug. Without
this patch, if you enter an itemtype under Catalog details, it is ignored in
the item section below it. This makes the field Itemtype under Catalog details
actually useless.

While searching Bugzilla, I also found a related report for "placing an order"
with default values. That is bug 8307. Possibly, we can bring the functionality
of these two reports together somehow.
