As it stands I would say that this errata needs to be rejected.
I accept the basic premise of the errata, that when you start step 3 the
value of t might not be well defined, however
1. the value of s is well defined and therefore does not need to be
redefined, and
2. the value of t needs to be replaced with s in both locations that it
occurs.
