Yeah, an empty $2 is weird. But I am not completely sure about retaining the
old value or removing the subfield.

If we explicitly remove the 040f value from the authority (while having that
old value in all linked biblio records and keeping it), wouldnt that be
confusing? 

Do you have any MARC documentation support for leaving 040f empty to allow $2
values on the bib side (even different ones)?
