WA Fisher Maps misprints?

I recently ordered some WA Fisher Maps for Quetico Provincial Park and received one that is misprinted, or at least that's what I'd call it, and wondered if it's a one-off problem. The misprint appears to be an error in the scaling of the shaded border along the Quetico boundary and makes it difficult to read details of the map, let alone how distracting it is, especially when aligned with the adjacent maps. Anyone else received a map like this? I'm going to request a correct copy from the retailer but thought I'd ask here to know if a correct copy has been/is available.

The specific map is F-28 Beaverhouse, Cirrus, and Quetico Lakes

Here's a shot of the Cirrus Lake area on the overview map showing the boundary shading I mentioned and a portion of map F-26 showing how the boundary is typically shaded on the individual maps. Online images of older printings of F-28 show a similar shading. So it appears the edition of map F-28 I purchased was misprinted. Hopefully I can get a corrected printing, or at least an older version.

And here's a section of F-26 with the boundary shading at the correct scale:
