My very wild guess would be that it's related to a value in date issued
that breaks the creation of the index on this value.
This could be verified if you can setup an almost empty DSpace, with a few
records of which you know they all have valid values for date issued.

After this test, we would know whether it's related to the metadata or
whether there's a deeper problem.
