When the "Name of Season" formatting is used, any text put in front of the
season is erased from the numbering pattern. This does not seem to affect the
"Name of Day" or "Name of Month" formatting options.

To test:
1) Go into Serials > Manage Numbering Patterns. 
2) Select edit for the "Seasonal" numbering pattern included in the default
installation of Koha. 
3) Type 'TEST' in front of the numbering formula, so that it reads 'TEST {X}
{Y}'. 
4) Make sure the X value uses the "Name of Season" formatting. 
5) Create a test prediction pattern.
6) Notice that the string "TEST" is erased from the front of the prediction
pattern. You will see that anything put in front of the season is erased. If
you put a variable like X, Y or Z in front of the pattern, that variable will
be erased as well.
7) Change the numbering formula to '{X} TEST {Y}"
8) Create a test prediction pattern.
9) Notice that so long as data is behind the "Name of Season" formatting, it
will still display.
