Anyone else receive notification of corrected AP scores or is this an isolated incident?

Sept 7th, S. received a letter from the College Board that, oops his AP score of 3 on the May 06 AP Human Geography exam had been corrected to a five. A call to the College Board confirmed that his AP Bio had also been changed to 5, although he was never notified of the bio error. Today the new score report arrived with bio and geo both raised from 3 to 5.
For both tests, given in May 06, a week apart, only his free response scores had been counted resulting in an erroneous score of 3. There was NO indication on the July score report that the number represented only part of the exam.
