I have two contacts Johanna Doe and Hanna Doe. Automatic linking links the contacts wrongly. They don't have anything other in common. The contacts come from google sync if that matters.

Right, we interpret these as being the same contact. You need to manually unlink them, as described here: https://together.jolla.com/question/26236/bug-unable-to-add-contact-with-name-similar-to-existing-one/
For people having the same problem I suspect they will search together for linking or merging bugs. And they will not find that linked one easily as it describes an adding contacts bug.
But yeah one fix will do for these both, so basically they are one problem. Close one and fix tags and description on the other as you see fit.

There is no notification or something shown after some contacts imported that there were some links made (at least for what I know) and you have no idea at all that something was linked. you only search for contact that seems to not exist.
