Section 9.1 says:
If sd is an IPv4 socket, the addresses passed must be IPv4 addresses. If the sd is an IPv6 socket, the addresses passed can either be IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
It should say:
If sd is an IPv4 socket, the passed addresses must be IPv4 addresses. If sd is an IPv6 socket, the passed addresses must be IPv6 addresses. Use IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses to bind an IPv6 socket to an IPv4 address. Note that some implementations optionally allow IPv4 addresses to be passed in directly.
Notes:
The erratum is a subtle change in meaning that would be a useful clarification.
