Section 2.10.6.1.3 says:

A reply that consists only of the Sequence operation with the error NFS4ERR_FALSE_RETRY.

When the replier detects a false retry, it is permitted (but not always obligated) to return NFS4ERR_FALSE_RETRY...

If the replier determines the users are different between the original request and a retry, then the replier MUST return NFS4ERR_FALSE_RETRY.

...current minor version (e.g., SETCLIENTID), the replier MAY return NFS4ERR_FALSE_RETRY...

The difference is due to NFS4ERR_FALSE_RETRY being a valid error for only Sequence operations...

It should say:

A reply that consists only of the Sequence operation with the error NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY.

When the replier detects a false retry, it is permitted (but not always obligated) to return NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY...

If the replier determines the users are different between the original request and a retry, then the replier MUST return NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY.

...current minor version (e.g., SETCLIENTID), the replier MAY return NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY...

The difference is due to NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY being a valid error for only Sequence operations...

References to NFS4ERR_FALSE_RETRY instead of NFS4ERR_SEQ_FALSE_RETRY
