I'm pretty sure "they" that design the stickers are very different from "they" that design the chip... Similarly chip verification has rather a different skill set and attention to detail than someone doing "sticker QA".

Also I doubt anyone was doing sticker QA, I'd guess that this was probably an outsourced mistake (I used to work in printing when I was younger - the mistakes you wouldn't believe).
