Yes, SIP2 can have multiple AF fields. The branchcode in AF field feature was
requested specifically by Overdrive to be able to track use by home library.
The AO does not transmit the patron home branch, it transmits the branch of the
user used to authenticate as for using SIP. It is not practical or correct to
send the patron branch on the AO field. This is definitely a regression and
needs to be fixed or we may have to revert this bug in master before the
release.
