Hi Annalisa,

the landmarks are transformed to RAS coordinate system when the data is
converted to fif format. As the constant definitions map to nasion = 2, lpa
=1 and rpa = 3 ('ident' in chs) they seem correct to me.

The second point seems like a bug to me. I've opened an issue here
https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/issues/3071
