From memory, that's the biggest mistake in the Yamaha spec.  The 
others that I can think of off the top of my head are:

The size of the System sysex is wrongly specified (1 byte short I 
think)

The definitions of some of their data types OB64 etc. are wrong.

The parameter change sysex messages for altering the tempo setting 
for a kit don't work (due to a bug in the unit itself).
