The mistake where the scribes forgot to draw a nymph's arm doesn't seem to help the argument here, the opposite: it shows they were quite capable of making silly mistakes when they did know better.
It seems feasible to me that a scribe could make a silly mistake like 88r if they were focusing on getting the glyphs right especially if (depending on folio ordering and when the labels were written) they had just done a lot of labels.
