thanks, now I understand: exports to GBIF are using the scientific name, and GPIF does the mapping. That is was what confused me at first. You are not referring to exports.
In the present case the GBIF id mentioned in the taxon scheme was wrong, and a non-curator wouldn’t have access to this information, or at least couldn’t edit, as you say.
I think the same problem was discussed here:

And this seems to be the answer - not entirely satisfying:
