James,

thank you for testing. I am continuing this discussion on the list and 
not on the bug report as I think the problems are unrelated.

I cannot find any published evidence that there exists such a thing as 
an IBAN without an ISO code. The horse's mouth states the contrary (from 
[1], page 11):

"The IBAN structure is defined in ISO 13616-1 and consists of a 
two-letter ISO 3166-1
country code, followed by two check digits and up to thirty alphanumeric 
characters for
a BBAN (Basic Bank Account Number"

What you describe is the BBAN mentioned. Are you certain that you can 
only expect an IBAN at the point where you encounter this particular 
account number?

Regards,
Stefan.
