I still have doubts that it's nefarious but am open-minded as to what we may discover. Certainly, it is useful to search archives with alternate spellings and find documents that wouldn't otherwise be found.
I am still leaning toward human ignorance and carelessness more than deliberate malfeasance.
What is needed is a really clear flowchart as to the total lifecycle of each document up to the point where it gets indexed and appears on the web … and this will be hard to come by as each organization and document may be different.
Which documents originated as print and were subsequently scanned?
What kind of software was used to convert a printed document to searchable text?
What standards or checks + balances were in place in the organization that created it or indexed it?
Were manual procedures involved?
What kind of quality controls were required in that organization?
Who performed them or failed to?
Etc etc.
Without this detailed and specific information I am still unwilling to place blame. It still looks like technical faults combined with human carelessness/sloppiness. Think of your state DMV or the post office, and the level of competence that the clerical people there exhibit. That same level of competence is likely present in any large federal bureaucracy that hires a lot of typists and office workers who have a job for life and don't give a damn and nobody checks their work.
