No, RFC 822 is/was a Standard. Standards do not, by definition, contain
"errors". "Bugs" maybe, but not errors.

Some standards (and other RFCs) do in fact contain errors.  Many
are listed on the RFC Editor's errata page
http://www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/errata.pl
That page specifically says "errors do sometimes go undetected".
It says nothing about "bugs".
