you mean in Koha breeding farm/reservoir don't you ?

If you speak of reservoir biblios, then you should be wrong somewhere : 
when you catalogage biblios, the useless subfields are discarded.

so you may speak of bulkmarcimport-ed biblios. In this case, you are 
right : the whole biblio is added to the DB. But that's not a bug, 
that's how it is supposed to work.
If you want to "clean" your biblios, you need to do this in 
bulkmarcimport or by deleting useless marc_subfield_table and marc_word 
entries.

Fare well
