If I were still at a NACO library, I might go ahead and correct both headings (unless I've missed something somewhere with regard to the Holmes heading). Nothing missed. The authority record was created before July of this year when "Fictitous character" monikers and such were sanctioned for use in RDA. No one's gotten around to updating the 100 and 368 fields yet.
