Section A.1.1 says:

Encoding this JWS Signature as BASE64URL(JWS Signature) gives this value:
     dBjftJeZ4CVP-mB92K27uhbUJU1p1r_wW1gFWFOEjXk

It should say:

[ I don't know what the signature is. dBjftJeZ4CVP-mB92K27uhbUJU1p1r_wW1gFWFOEjXk is not base64url. ]

Notes:

Maybe it was the signature in ascii and needed to be converted to base4url?
--VERIFIER NOTES--
This does not appear to be broken (or incorrect). Add == to the end for padding to allow proper decoding.
