I logged it as well, Bart (2204GMT on 21st on W6330F) using a decoder which 
will only display messages if they are error-free.

To quote from the COAA PlanePlotter "help file":

The CRC check is the only certain way of knowing that the message is 
correct (strictly one chance in 65,536 that it is wrong)

See also Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) here

So I reckon it's not a mis-read ;-)
