257 and 259 are periodical codes so Kindle treats them differently and doesn't allow them to be put manually into collections. The next plugin update will allow them to be put into collections. But if its a mobi file without a cdetype the Kindle will not list the book in a collection (this is the problem with catalogs and news feeds).
I'm not sure about the periodical back issue stuff either. I can see why they did it - to avoid users having to delete old issues or have their screens and Kindle fill up. And if they are moving them automatically to a 'collection' for back issues they must have thought allowing them to be put into a separate collection might be confusing (if an issue expired and was deleted from back issues AND your other collection you might not have expected that). At least Calibre gives us the option to save and manage them as we want.
