I believe the answer is on page 2* of UBS version 4 introduction where
it states that such passages have a C-rating and if the variant is of
minor grammatical significance with no appreciable bearing on the
translation, no note of it is taken in the apparatus.
I think you are looking at page 19* which discusses [sic] "an
abnormality reproduced exactly from the original" which is different
from your examples.
