As a library cataloger, I can tell you that the link to the Polish catalog doesn't demonstrate what you think it does. The name after the slash in the Tytul field gives the name in the form on the publication: M.-C. Lemaire.
The form in the Autor field is a standardized form used by the library, based on other sources of information. It appears that the author considers the compound surname form of name a "deadname" and wants it to disappear, at least when someone does a Google search for her name. The Wikidata result in a Google search is dated April 25, so it probably won't change until it is reindexed.

That name is used, online, by - among others - VIAF, ISNI, BNF, Nukat, Worldcat, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the award page previously discussed. > I acted accordingly and removed the other last name.
