Actually he doesn't say it's a copyist's error, because the context
doesn't allow for that.  It's quite clear that the BY himself wrote
milk, and meant milk.   When the DM says "nitchalef lo basar bechalav",
he means that the BY himself confused milk and meat.   Needless to say
that's a very bedochak explanation, but since there's no other mention
of such a sakana the DM evidently feels forced to it.
