That is a very good question, I would like to know as well.
I think in cases where they can't merge it they delete it and re-create the item with its ISBN and then NAB it. I think they delete it because the manual states NAB items should not be rated, and then when they add the ISBN this would prevent people (and probably scripts) from re-adding it.
As I get things wrong, I would wait for at least one other librarian to confirm this.
Btw this can be merged with this . Sorry I got curious what was the NAB item. I see you've found a bunch of cd's.
