Example sequence which might lead to the error:
 - A librarian loads the "Additional attributes and identifiers" edit screen. 
 - They choose an attribute from the drop-down, decide it's not correct.
 - They click the 'Clear' link.
 - They choose a different attribute and click save.

They will see an error:

    The following fields are wrong. Please fix them.

    * The attribute value /[attribute value] is already is use by another
patron record.

Where [attribute value] is their custom attribute value.

When the 'Clear' link is clicked, a hidden input field is cleared:

<input type="hidden" id="patron_attr_2_code" name="patron_attr_2_code"
value="school" />

If you submit the form with an empty value for that input combined with
non-empty data in the accompanying text field the error is triggered.
