David,

I thank you for trying to read my mind, but the facts seem 
otherwise.  That is, I DID NOT misread anything in this regard.

And just to be sure, I have just checked and found that the first 
nismakh form there is hataf-patah, patah, followed by "vegam" 
hataf-patah, tzere.   (What I have not found anywhere is the first 
form that appears above in the Subject field, which I understand to 
be qamatz, qamatz.)

My edition is called HaMilon Ha`Ivri HaMerukaz, which was a serious 
revision of the previous Even Shoshan edition, published by Qiryat 
Sefer, which first appeared in 1952 and was reprinted thereafter.  As 
such, the 1973 HaMilon Ha`Ivri HaMerukaz is indeed a later revision 
than those reprints of the three-volume edition, even if they were 
printed after the 1973 first publication of HaMilon Ha`Ivri 
HaMerukaz.  It thus seems to trump the three-volume edition that was 
printed in 1975.

I was intending to check with the publisher---perhaps after I take 
down my sukka.

But I did find the hataf-patah, patah form used all over the Web, as 
I had pointed out.

Gemar hatima tova to all.
