Batch importing data, Entity Splitter isn't doing what I'd hoped

I fixed the original issue I had (entities not finding existing records). But there's another one I can't figure out, so rather than delete this post, I'll just edit it.

In my import template, I've got an entity field for Creator where the refinery looks like this:
{ "relationshipType": "creator", "entityType": "ind", "delimiter": ";", "doNotParse": true, "attributes": { "idno": "E.%", "preferred_labels": {"displayname": "^3"} } }

And I have a Publisher field where the refinery looks like this:
{ "relationshipType": "publisher", "entityType": "org", "delimiter": ";", "doNotParse": true, "attributes": { "idno": "E.%", "preferred_labels": {"displayname": "^3"} } }

We always have a Publisher, and it's our institution, 99% of the time. If I don't have a Creator listed, the Publisher field is populated perfectly, with our institution, pulling from an existing entity.

HOWEVER... if I also have a creator in the sheet, the creator will populate the subject field appropriately, pulling from an existing entity record and listing them as "subject". But it ALSO replaces our institution with the creator WITHIN the Publisher field and also tags them as a publisher.

Any reason that can be seen as to why it might do that?

You'd need to post the complete importer file. The problem is likely in the context around these refinery options blocks, not in the options themselves.
