I think 942$2 is classifaction source (Dewey Decimal?) and 942$c is
item type.  It's not presence of the fields, but that the item type
is AV not EBOOKS.

It's hard to say without knowing what edits are being done how.

I can't test real koha from my current location and I think I'd need
your item types and records, but last I knew, LLEK was a pretty old
version (3.0.2 or some such), which might have some problem causing it
which might be found on http://bugs.koha.org

Hope that helps,
