There's some animator with the name of Theresia Winkler (5 staff credits for animation, including FLCL and Aa! Megami-sama movie).

The D2_STATION credits for Aa! Megami-sama movie have her name as テレジア・ウインクラー (Terejia Uinkuraa) which is in Western order.

I set the given name テレジア and the family name ウインクラー for her at ANN.

But due to the name order difference (and the separator character), this won't make テレジア・ウインクラー become a kanji contributible input. (Setting the whole string to either the given name or the family name doesn't work either, to my surprise.)

What would be the recommended way of dealing with this situation?

The same thing as with people with given-only or family-only kanji: you just have to enter their name romanized when inputting them. Having a Western-ordered name in kana/kanji also means the name appears in incorrect order, but I'm guessing there's no way around that.
