The logic could go like this:
If the option is selected and the book doesn't already have valid ISBN metadata, check if one of the TAGS is a valid ISBN (for a PDF file example, in the Keywords) and use that as book ISBN.

Can this feature be done easily?

P.S. Calibre is one of the best software I've ever used.
Have you tried using the Extract ISBN plugin on one of the books in question ?
