Heard back next day personally from Rob Lifson, very politely thanking us for the info.
An errata sheet was included in subsequent mailings of that catalogue
(well, one was sent to us, anyway).

By and large a reputable company doesn't want the headache of selling a mistake. There's an entire branch of insurance for auction houses called "Errors and Omissions" and while most larger companies have it, nobody wants to use it!
