Why not a custom column something like this: {author_sort}{series:| - |}, that way the series shelves are with the author, works (Tried it), but you might want to mess with shortening the author_sort, I know that can be done with some fancy template code, but I haven't done so.

So you'd get shelves:
Clarke, Arthur C.
Clarke, Arthur C. - Space Odyssey
Clarke, Arthur C. - Rama

Not really my first choice though as I have a lot of one off authors...
