itemtypes.notforloan=1 means no item can be issued, whatever it's status.
items.notforloan works as it : any "true" value means "YES".
So null & 0 both mean "no" => the book can be issued, (if 
itemtypes.notforloan=0)
1,2,3,... mean "yes" => this item can't be issued (because it's 
"excluded", "being repaired", or whatever position the library can give
