i think that should be possible to implement through plugin system.
I think plugin system for MARC management is great (it's mine :-) ) and 
can result in highly customizable koha.

strange. How did you fill your MARC parameter tables ? if it's manual, 
then pls send me a dump of marc_subfield_structure table.
Send me the lines around the 571 (560-580 for example) from 
/koha_root/modules/C4/Biblio.pm

The Output.pm line 347 was a remaining "die" that has been removed in 1.3.3
Tell me more about your problem.
