I imagine this issue hasn't been fixed, because it requires a specific
configuration and someone to notice a problem.
I believe that for this issue to occur you would need the following config:
0) Set the Shelving Location for an item during 'Add item' (this will populate
'item.location' and 'item.permanent_location' with the LOC authorized value for
the shelving location
AND
-
1a) 'NewItemsDefaultLocation' set to 'PROC' and 'InProcessingToShelvingCart'
set to 'ON'
OR
1b) 'ReturnToShelvingCart' set to 'ON'
-
AND
2) Edit the item before checking it (since editing the item will clear
'item.permanent_location' due to a missing Koha => MARC mapping
THEN
Run 'cart_to_shelf.pl'

At Prosentient, none of our libraries use any of these system preferences, so
it hasn't been an issue.
As for other libraries/vendors, I suspect that there could be any number of
reasons for a fix not making it here. Either people don't use these
preferences, they haven't noticed the problem, or they've created a custom
solution that they don't think is appropriate for the community.

I haven't looked at the code (and I probably won't since it doesn't affect any
of my libraries at present), but there's an explanation.
