One and all,
Let's try not to make things more complicated than they already are.
As some of you have pointed out, we already have a boiler plate 670 for citing the results of an OCLC search. Presumably, one found the Swedish bib record and its headings in OCLC and it would be correct to give the information in a separate 670.
Attaching the information to the 670 for the item in hand is a bit misleading, and can lead to confusion.

It is permissable to cite OCLC headings for qualifiers needed to break
conflicts even if those headings have not been "established" with
explanations of the original source(s) of the information.
You need not explain the language of the bib. record you are taking
reference from or much else about it. I used to cite the OCLC #, but
even that is discouraged (according to a former NACO coordinator here).
The simplest way to state your data is:
OCLC, [date of observation] $b (hdg.: Karlsson, Jens, 1972; usage: Jens
Karlsson)
