All our item forms have mandatory itemtype field but this doesn't fix the
problem completely. If syspref "makePreviousSerialAvailable" is enabled Koha
tries to fill previous serials itype field with value from
subscription.previousitemtype (code on serials-edit.pl lines 247-271) and if
that value is NULL then we run into problems.

Of course this wouldn't be an issue for us if we had same itemtype in both
items.itype and biblioitems.itemtype columns and we could rely on Item->store
to fill itype correctly.
