Confirming the bug with the following added information. The barcode is replaced without error in the following cases:

1 - When you replace a barcode for a serials item with a barcode already used on a non-serials item.

or

2 - When you replace a barcode for a non-serials item with a barcode already used on a serials item.

If you try to replace a serials barcode with a barcode already used on a serials item, you do receive an error and the record doesn't save. It's an ugly error that doesn't really inform the user of what happened, but it does stop the system from storing the duplicate barcode.
