This is not an error and the errata should be rejected. As per the ABNF definition in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234.html#section-21<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234.html#section-2.1> the name contains "alphabetics, digits, and hyphens (dashes)", and not underscores. I believe the commenter is expecting the ABNF rule name of code-verifier to match the parameter name of code_verifier, but they do not need to be the same. While this is confusing, the text is correct as it stands.
