Yes, you are right here. He definitely should have acknowledged it in the upload post, no question about it.

Clearly this is not something he considered an error, and he has not changed it despite vehement objections that followed when he told the forum what he'd done.

I can only repeat myself, he has no reason to change it back. He made this decision, he uploaded a modernised version and this is his good right with public domain books (yes, sometimes unfortunately).
We have two versions of this book here, one by Patricia that follows closely the original, one by AlexBell that modernised spelling and some wording. We can chose which one to read and I am sure that AlexBell's version might be preferred by some for they find it easier to read.
