This errata appears to be wrong. Whilst the chart below the heading 1.5 Refresh 
token does issue the refresh token in step B, that diagram is labeled Figure 2. 
Step D in Figure 1 is actually the access token response.

If anything, we could amend the text to read:

it is included when issuing an access token (i.e., step (D) in
   Figure 1 above).

(Adding the word above to avoid people referencing the wrong diagram 
incorrectly)

Yours,
Emelia Smith
