I know legacy circ is kind of a nasty subject, but I would agree with you that the behavior is as you describe.
I know folks here would LOVE the ability to have the pre-cat circ modifier apply to the circulation. We've had to create policy specifically for pre-cat items so they had their own standard circ rules since we couldn't make this happen.
Shae,
I can't speak to the network error you receive, but I can confirm that Pre-cat does indeed use it's own duration rule when using legacy circ scripts.
We have a rule that says to treat all pre-cat's like vanilla books. I've pasted a copy of our scripts below, showing this.
