Thanks to everyone who responded, both on and off-list.
Carlton, I usually do report these errors, but the folks at Accordance
are going to release the Scholar's Collection 4 CD in a couple of weeks
(December 2nd), which will include an upgraded LXX with new and revised
grammatical tags. As I understand it, they are going to correct errors
and also bring the tags more into line with the GNT tags, which will be
nice. I'm going to wait until then to see if this particular error is
corrected.
