Ok, good to know but kind of awkward since the whole point of those
self-service terminals is to run unattended. Users would have to notify a
librarian (in our case not even physically present) if that session expired for
some reason.

Hm, I don't see how that should help either since there is only one Koha
instance (server and thus self-service web interface).

That's exactly our use case but we have two branches (read: locations), served
by the same central Koha instance. Both sites/branches use self-service
terminals and thus need independent location handling for the items checked. I
don't see why the current system was implemented in such a way that a checked
item's location gets derived from the self-service auto-login account, not the
patron who does the self-service action...
