Man, you had me very worried there for a moment. I had to go check my most recent book, which has been published but hasn't yet hit retail outlets. Phew, it was fine. I created the barcode the same way I have always done: by entering the ISBN exactly as issued -- all the numbers, including the check. Maybe the behaviour you describe is a recent change (regression?), because I am using 1.3.5svn from 26 January, 2009, which is what the is contained in the official current Kubuntu scribus-ng package; and like I say, that seems to work fine.
