I'd appreciate some feedback by the CERN developers about this

I fully agree with your's and Alexander's point of view. The default
Invenio setup should be such that MARC indicators are treated in the
least-surprising way.
The best way to achieve this would be to create a couple of new demo
records, covering various MARC indicator use cases, after which we could
alter indexes/formats/etc and write test cases to ensure things are
working as expected.
Would you volunteer to provide some demo records for this purpose?
What kind of Demo do you want here? E.g. I've a rather large collection
of 3rd party data at hand that we just added to our libraries catalogue.
One set is from Springer, the other would be from CRC press. (Probably,
you don't want to test with all 5000 records?) Still, I think it would
be viable if Invenio could reuse such publisher supplied data with
minimum effort.
Besides that, we also dumped down our libraries catalogue to Marc and
imported that to a test installation of Invenio. The whole stuff is
probably a bit large as well, but it would probably make a perfect "real
world use case" also containing some categories I don't see handled in
Invenio right now. (084 comes to my mind again with two indicators: 0
for the classmark, 1 for shelfmark and we use both of them.)
Would something the like be of help? I'd check then if/how we can supply
the data.
