Thanks, Marcel, for commenting.

1) From https://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad008.html, section 008/11 = 'z': "A
MARC code for the conventions used to formulate the heading *may* be contained
in subfield $f (Subject heading/thesaurus conventions) in field 040 (Cataloging
Source)".
"May" means, IMO, that it is legal to have 008/11 = 'z' and no 040 $f.

2) 008/11 = 'z' in authority implies 2nd ind. = '7' in linked 6XX fields in
bibliographic record. And 2nd ind. = '7' implies the presence of $s subfield.
(From https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd600.html: "
7 - Source specified in subfield $2 / Subject added entry conforms to a set of
subject heading system/thesaurus building rules. The identifying code is given
in subfield $2."

3) I agree that removing 040 $f from an authority record while leaving 008/11 =
'z' creates a fuzzy situation but IMO the best heuristics is just to retain the
old value of $2 in linked biblios. For now, I cannot think of a better
choice... What could we do else? (If one puts later a new value in auth 040 $f
or changes 008/11, the 6XX $2 will be updated or removed accordingly.)

4) A real world example of authority records with 008/11 = 'z' and no 040 $f
linked to bibliographic 6XX with 2nd ind. '7' and subfield $2 is the Polish NB
bibliographic data: note fields 6XX in
https://data.bn.org.pl/api/institutions/bibs.marcxml?id=b1000003108650 vs.
example authority record for 'Graficy holenderscy':
