I haven't really been able to pay close attention to this string, but
though I would add that OCLC has tried to "make sense" of the
reproductions issue and "help matters" in the preliminaries to BF&S
(3.2), as well as within the appropriate MARC fields.  Here is a link to
the preliminaries, which has links elsewhere:

Thanks to the replies I've gotten so far. I especially like what Stephen
suggests; a prominent note on the nature of what's being cataloged is
entirely appropriate without resorting to making it look purely like a
copy-specific note. 

What surprises me is that no one has mentioned what first occurred to
me: that the 260 and 300 field should reflect what you're cataloging: in
this case, the facsimile. That would be the best (not to mention
standard) in-your-faceness. 

Such a practice would be possible for future cataloging, but it's not
feasible for us to go back to each record and re-fashion the publication
data and physical description.

If anybody's interested, I'll let you know what we decide. And because
we haven't decided yet, please feel free to continue to reply; we're in
the data-collecting stage.
