Summary: Link authorities automatically does not always work

Bug 11299 introduced the "Link authorities automatically" function. When the
button is used for fields with only the main heading or the main heading and
one subheading, it works. However, I've noticed a few instances of it not
picking up already existing authority records. When this happens, it generates
a new authority record. Then, if the same authority is used in a new
bibliographic record the "Link authorities automatically" button will link to
the newly created, duplicate authority.
Example:
In a new bibliographic record, the 650 fields are filled out as follows:
650$a - Biology
650$x - Research
650$y - 1960
There is already an authority record with this content in the 150 field:
150$a - Biology
150$x - Research
150$y - 1960
When the "Link authorities automatically" is clicked, the original authority is
not picked up, but a duplicate authority is created.
On a new bibliographic record, the same information is added to the 650 fields
and the "Link authorities automatically" is clicked and the duplicate authority
is linked, not the original one.
