Hi Jonathan, I don't see that there is a problem here. In the case where routers on the multi-access network are declaring themselves BDR, only those routers are included in the election process. In the case where there aren't any, all routers are included.
I recommend this errata be rejected.

In case of a tie, the one having the highest Router ID is chosen. If no routers have declared themselves Backup Designated Router[alternative2], Moy Standards Track [Page 75] RFC 2328 OSPF Version 2 April 1998 choose the router having highest Router Priority, (again excluding those routers who have declared themselves Designated Router), and again use the Router ID to break ties.
