Duplicate Barcode Bug in "Your books"

To reproduce:
1. Go to "Your books" and make sure you're using a display Style with the "Barcode" field. If not, add it to one (https://www.librarything.com/settings/display).
2. Either pick an existing "Barcode" number in your catalog or add one to any record. Wait a few minutes for indexing to catch up, if needed.
3. On a different record, staying on the "Your books" page, add the same barcode number and save.

Bug: You should get an error message that the same barcode number is already in use on the other record, but you do not.

NB: This bug does not happen on the book-edit page. You get the error message as expected.

Fixed. You should now see an error message for the duplicate barcode after you click the "Save" button, and the option to "Save anyway".
