Since you say the bib record for the print original will have a 533 for
the e-reproduction, I would say it is certainly ok to have an 830 for
the series heading justified by a series transcription in the 533 $f.
I've seen this appproach in many Library of Congress microfilm
reproduction records, and it has always seemed valid to me. The only
problem I can think of with this approach is that you say you will
eventually be moving the reproduction note from bib 533 to mfhd 843.
That means the series heading would be justified by a series
transcription outside of the bib record (but attached to it). I would
be all for this myself, because I support our moving toward work-level
or expression-level bib records with manifestation-level information
carried in the holdings format and this is a step in that direction.
