I bumped into this today and I've attached a patch with test-case.

Cheers,

Rupert

Subject: [PATCH] math.primes.erato: Fix off-by-one error

The sieve bit vector deals with numbers in chunks of 30. Therefore,
the number 90 (say) is the 91st 'element' of the vector. Each byte
deals with some range {0,1,...,29}+30n so to have the number 90, you
need four bytes.

Rather pleasingly, I bumped into this bug and it reduced to the
incantation:
  2010 2010 sieve marked-prime?
