I personally don't see this as a bogus edition, unless there is something I am missing.
Back in the mid-'70s (or possibly early '80s), Random House attempted to restore the original texts on a number of his important works that had been edited when they were first published. Those texts were later restored to (in my words) his 'preferred texts'.
Over the years, I've read both versions, mainly because I love Faulkner's work.

That means nothing, it just means that whoever scanned the book preserved that information. It looks to me that Random House has the publishing rights for Faukner's novels, and if that edition had actually been published by Random House, it would have said that the price was set by the publisher, and the publisher was Random House. I think it's just another bogus edition, and if Random House notices it and complains to Amazon, it will disappear from the Kindle libraries of the buyers, and they might get their money back.
