Yes, it does. Following the discussion before and after your post we can conclude the name of the (voice) actor or puppeteer has to always be entered in the name field and the character name in the credited as or role field. So it needs to be Frank Oz [Kermit the Frog] as Himself OR Frank Oz [Himself] as Kermit the Frog (if the cast list explicitly shows "Himself as Kermit the Frog"), although I think it always should be the latter as you can never really see Frank Oz.

Sandra Bullock [Ida Flammenbaum] as Herself is correct.

If I read this it tells me that Sandra Bullock is credited as Ida Flammenbaum playing herself. That can't be right, because Ida Flammenbaum is not a nick or stage name but a role. I really think we should not reverse the name/role positions with ficticious characters and just should enter Sandra Bullock [Herself] as Ida Flammenbaum, because that tells me that Sandra Bullock is credited as Herself playing Ida Flammenbaum.

Ida Flammenbaum is a ficticious character.  She is played by Sandra Bullock.  All this does is link her to the other films Sandra Bullock was in.  When you look at the credit, outside of edit mode, you will see 'Ida Flammenbaum as Herself'.  You are creating a problem, that does not exist, by over analyzing the data.

THINK about it Ida is a "Role" played by an actress, how do we handle such not credited data. Hmmmmm.I was thinking about providing the answer, it has been used before quite elegantly, and was figured out by another user, but i am noty going to give you the answer. There is a way the data should be handled and it is NOT this way.

I totally agree with Unicus and Ken Cole.

I also revoted NO on Miss Congenuiality because you mishandled the data, as I said we have a system ALREADY in place deal with it.

Its not as I please, Martin, it very SIMPLE. I understand the design of the Rules as NO ONE else does outside of DanW. This issue was carefully considered at the time, Tim has his opinion but he neither understands nor does he care to even try to. And as for the Sandra (Ida) issue, as I said there was a very elegant solution uncovered by a user that is already in use. So this whole issue is so wrong on so many different levels, many of which i will not even begin to address.
