Quest to find Pneumatic Pnowledge suddenly "completed", but book itself is nowhere to be seen about cataclysm-dda HOT 4 OPEN

No, that quest is very weird. Once your character sees it it disappears and the quest is completed, depriving you of the opportunity to keep it for yourself until you find another one, as well as causing a lot of confusion.

I noticed something similar with another mission in my mod just to find some items..

    {
        "id": "HA_MISSION_INFECTED_START_FIND_ANTIVIRALS",
        "type": "mission_definition",
        "name": { "str": "Find something to mitigate your infection before you die!" },
        "goal": "MGOAL_FIND_ITEM",        
        "difficulty": 1,
        "value": 0,
        "item": "antivirals",
        "origins": [ "ORIGIN_GAME_START" ]
        
    },
    ``
    
    The mission is completed once the player can see the item somewhere.. 
    (I think, or when it's somewhere near..)

Yeah, its especially weird for what is otherwise a bog-standard fetch-quest. Shouldn't the success criterion be handing the book over to Jenny?

Yes, it ought to be.
