I think the issue here is that someone linking to [[Thomas Figby]] might not realize that the article at [[Thomas Figby]] is not about the man who is currently on trial for the murder of his wife, but rather Thomas Figby, the movie star, and instead he is looking for [[Thomas Lawrence Figby]].
I don't think this has anything to do with bots.

Whomever is running bots that link between articles should look at proper name links based on categories and check into this. I found a large number of these types of errors. They are subtle, but will most probably show up when browsing through articles unless you can analyze the link targets and relationships in the dumps.
