Hi Adam,
As you noted, LC does not routinely make an additional NAR representing the original language expression-- this has been the long-time practice in the NACO file for general works, where the authority record for the work also represents the original expression. For example, the access point "Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Hamlet" represents Hamlet the work, as well as the original (English) expression, and there is no authority record for "Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Hamlet. English."
You are correct that the "Mail carrier = El cartero" example in the LC-PCC PS for 6.27.3 illustrates this approach (an earlier version included "$l English" in the first analytic added entry, but this was removed after concerns were raised by the PCC/LC PSD RDA Policy Statements Task Group about using different access points for the original work and original expression in some cases). Comments on the final report of the PCC Access Points for Expressions Task Group also raised this issue, and follow-up activities on that report have been deferred by the PCC Policy Committee to the PCC Standing Committee on Standards, which is planning a possible questionnaire to get the sense of the PCC. The LC-PCC PS for 6.27.3 is labeled as LC practice because there has been no resolution at this point (there is a note in the PS that indicates the PCC has the topic under discussion). [You also mentioned Appendix 1 to LC-PCC PS for 6.27.1.9-- I wouldn't read too much 'RDA policy' into that statement considering the first cautionary sentence "Note: This appendix is provisional until the Program for Cooperative Cataloging has reviewed and revised it for RDA."] The guidelines for when LC would make a title or name/title authority record are in DCM Z1 (we generally wouldn't make an authority record for the original expression in cases like this); great flexibility is extended to PCC folks there as well-- "PCC practice: NACO participants may contribute name authority records for works or expressions as needed for cataloging."
This is a complicated issue given the impact on the legacy authority file as well as bibliographic issues-- what one might do in a 'perfect' RDA environment without this legacy would likely be different. You may know that some (at least 1) PCC library has already started moving in this direction and feels very strongly about this, so I can't advise you on what is right or wrong at this point, but will say that for now LC will wait until the issue is further discussed by the PCC, potential solutions identified, and a plan for file maintenance is in place before changing its practice.

Subject: Re: NARs with ampersand in subfield $l - do not reuse LCCN
Ana,
Will a $l with the original language of expression be included in the new
NAR, or are we to just create an NAR for the work and let that represent
the original expression? LC-PCC PS for 6.27.3 seems to indicate the
latter should be done (but it's not clearly labeled either as LC practice,
PCC practice, or both), and it doesn't actually deal with NARs, just
access points in bibliographic records. But the clear implication of the
example there is that we don't create a separate expression NAR for the
original language expression:
100 1# $a Macken, JoAnn Early, $d 1953-
245 10 $a Mail carrier = $b El cartero / $c JoAnn Early Macken.
700 12 $a Macken, JoAnn Early, $d 1953- $t Mail carrier.
700 12 $a Macken, JoAnn Early, $d 1953- $t Mail carrier. $l Spanish.
Also, Appendix 1 to LC-PCC PS for 6.27.1.9 has conflicting examples,
since the second example below does include the language of the original
expression in the access point:
730 02 $a To live and die in L.A.
730 02 $a To live and die in L.A. $l French.
730 02 $a To live and die in L.A. $l Spanish.
Original in English, dubbed in French and Spanish
730 02 $a Shichinin no samurai. $l English
730 02 $a Shichinin no samurai. $l Japanese.
