Section 4.1 says:
The mobile node may also accept packets from several care-of addresses, such as when it is moving but still reachable at the previous link.
It should say:
The mobile node may also accept packets for several care-of addresses, such as when it is moving but still reachable at the previous link.
Notes:
Looks like a typo ("from" typed, instead of "for"), but affects the technical meaning. I am happy for this erratum to be changed to Type: Editorial.

Notes:
Section 7.2 of RFC6275 introduces a new flag, called the R bit. This seems to update RFC 4861 section 4.6.2. However, there is no mention in RFC6275 or in RFC4861 that this happened.
--- Notes ---
Thanks for (ahem) flagging this.
RFC 8425 was produced to create an IANA registry of PIO flags and formally update RFC 4861.

It should say:
Updates: 4302 [in RFC header]
Notes:
Section 11.3.2 says:
The treatment of destination options described in RFC 4302 is
extended as follows. The AH authentication data MUST be
calculated... [etc.]
This is a change to the AH algorithm and should be flagged as a formal update to RFC 4302.
-- Verifier note (EV) ----
Indeed, RFC 6275 should formally update RFC 4302. This erratum sits somewhere between editorial and technical, and as it does not change the technical content itself, I edited the type to 'editorial'.
