The new patch seems to address this, but I haven't tested it yet.

I think this is a valid reason to keep it Failed QA, though I'm changing it
to in discussion. The summary doesn't say only iso2709 export format.
It suggests UNIMARC records in general.

While I am not a QA person, I think this is a really good point. The leader
record should be saved correctly in the first place, not need correction on
export.
