Scott, The permissible errors relate back to your system specification (IRS) as it relates to BERs. For an OC-48 interface you may be working off a rate of around 10^-12 and it only takes a few weeks to test that !!, so the easiest and short answer is, no bit errors should be observed during the ESD testing for optical (read high speed) interfaces.
The statement regarding 1 errored second per discharge is the default should your system spec fail to address bit errors (not likely). My 2c.
