You just don't get it. It is rarely/never a "fix". It's a hide the error so the user doesn't know anything is wrong. They don't bother to learn how the addon functions in order to fix a bug correctly, they just suppress it. Many of these "typos" they are fixing are intentional misspellings (yes programmers do that).

And yes WoWMatrix does create versioning issues. When the version of the that comes from WoWMatrix doesn't work, and the version I wrote does that is a major issue. Especially since I have no way of knowing that the users reporting this bug are using WoWMatrix, and certainly don't know the changes WoWMatrix is making, so I'm hunting for a non-existent bug in my addon instead of getting something useful done.

Meanwhile of course, even when it is finally tracked down to WoWMatrix there is no bug-reporting functionality on the WoWMatrix page and WoWMatrix rarely if ever responds to authors

WoWMatrixes tinkering helps no one.
