Very good observation. The 200$b UNIMARC subfield (200b = "General
Material Designation") in my case is NOT linked to any Koha field. But
I don't remember having "unmapped" this field.

Maybe this difference between my setup and yours is due to my
installation having been previously an installation of Koha 3.0.1 that
was migrated to 3.0.2 (by running "perl Makefile.PL
--prev-install=/usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log"). I have later
repeated that same procedure for upgrading to 3.0.3

If that "default" 200b <-> biblioitems.itemtype mapping was created in
the official version Koha before version 3.0.3, I think that I
wouldn't get that mapping, because I was following this "upgrade"
procedure (that preserves existing data) instead of doing a "real"
fresh install.

Am I right? Does anyone have any info / comments regarding this?

Cheers,
Ricardo
