Its not a major deal but it is something I need to consider.
In fact I think there is another bigger issue and that is duplicate exemptions, which again are book based. If the purpose of a duplicate group for resolution purposes is to show all books for authors that have duplicates, then you won't want other books by those authors exempted out of it (or the groups partitioned because of it).
This all just confirms my thoughts that author based duplicate searching has to be considered "separately" in terms of the impact it has and perhaps how it should be presented.
