I doubt that this is a mistake, exactly. It's likely intentional, albeit through unreliable automation. I mean, from Google's perspective, false positives are arguably far less problematic than false negatives. And I'm sure that it happens more than we know.

Edit: OK, so I'm dyslexic. False negatives are arguably more problematic, because they attract more attention.
