It isn't made clear from the system preference description for LinkerKeepStale
that LinkerRelink (and currently CatalogModuleRelink per bug 30024) have to be
set to Do in order for a Don't setting on LinkerKeepStale to have any effect. 

It may be helpful for libraries if the LinkerKeepStale system preference
description pointed this out by adding something along the lines of the second
sentence below: 

< [Do/Don't] keep existing links to authority records for headings where the
linker is unable to find a match. Setting to "Don't" requires setting
LinkerRelink to "Do". >

Making this more explicit in the manual could be helpful as well.
