Well I think the problem is that the linking system can't distinguish between NIPPON COLUMBIA and Nippon Columbia.

The entry where I made a mistake yesterday had the publisher as NIPPON COLUMBIA in the text field, but the linking system guessed it was Nippon Columbia instead.

Also, is there any reason why publisher linking is restricted to staff only?

Edit: An idea, but I don't know if it's possible. The linking system could check the release date of an entry and defunct publisher dates. For example, since this entry is from 2011 and Nippon Columbia has been defunct since 2002, you shouldn't be able to link them.
