it's normal. in a lot of cases, clones have slightly or completely different manufacturer names. this is true in less cases but still happens for years and sourcefiles.

you can't "fix" it, unless you want games always playable. in this case you can do two things: create merged sets so clones are always inside the parent, or non-merged sets which will make separate playable clones, but will make your rom sets much much much bigger.

personally i would create merged sets if i were for separating games by manufacturer.

nope, since the compressed data doesn't change. that's what unckecking that option does.
