It seems to me that something like a note field for the predicate
`person-p' with values natural, artifical, restaurant, bookstore etc
was more to the point here. Then the only thing you need to
customize is the function bbdb-display-name-organization.

I found that part of the problem of the old BBDB code was that it
had gained a significant part of its complexity when it implemented
solutions in a way that appeared to me not quite to the point.

Your patch includes modficiations in various places. And I am quite
sure that you'll find more places that need to be patched as time
goes by.

Whenever it's possible, I'd be glad if such extra complexity can be
avoided. Otherwise, in the long run maintenance of BBDB becomes much
more difficult.
