I need to investigate a bit more how it represents in MARC for us, but I know that for GND records you can use the same records for both main/added and subject. So we don't have that differentiation in our authority file I believe.
Of course, it is totally correct. In such a case the authority record should have 008/14-15 = 'aa'. I am aware that there are libraries with authority files of low quality, self/automatically generated, not paying attention to 008. Therefor this feature should be optional, with default = 'do not'. For us it is essential because we are using more than one authority file for subject heading and only one for main/added headings. It happens that in different authority files there are names of equal form but only one file should be used for main/added entries. And this is controlled by 008/14-16. The story is in some sense analogous to the use of different thesauri (cf. Bug 30280).
