    Answer

    The issue might be that the NR for FRBR k1 or k2 or k3 does not add the $$K & $$A/$$AT/$$ATO in all rules. 
    You can test the NR on one of the failed records and check if it creates a frbr k1/k2/k3 values, with or without the $$K & $$A/$$AT/$$ATO. 

    If that is the case please fix the NR.
