The ticket proposes putting <biblScope>s after the <imprint> element 
when its present.  So your example would now be encoded as:

<biblStruct>
   <analytic>
     <author>Chesnutt, David</author>
     <title>Historical Editions in the States</title>
   </analytic>
   <monogr>
     <title level="j">Computers and the Humanities</title>
     <imprint>
       <date when="1991-12">(December, 1991):</date>
     </imprint>
     <biblScope>25.6</biblScope>
     <biblScope>377–380</biblScope>
   </monogr>
</biblStruct>
