Since I'm not a Shorewall developer, I assumed I should look under the
errata for the version of Shorewall I was using.  How am I to know that
every version of Shorewall from xxx to yyy had exactly the same format
for the rfc1918 file?

Ouch!  Having a bad day?

Obviously "bad" IP addresses are not Shorewall version dependant, but
are rfc1918 files?  How should I know?  Besides, I  went to the
Shorewall site, clicked on the version I am running, then clicked on the
errata for that version.  Is this what I did wrong?  Perhaps if that
rfc1918 was a link to the one you maintained we wouldn't be having this
discussion...
