I don't know what's going on with PG's proofers, but perhaps they need a better (or more standardized, perhaps) OCR process in the first place, to minimize errors.
We've discussed this elsewhere on this forum. My personal recommendation has always been to photocopy pages to a larger size, as close to paper size as possible, and OCR from that... the larger the text, the fewer the errors. Without knowing how PG does it, though, I can't make a definitive statement, only suggestions.
