Giles,
I do not think this is an error or a problem in any sense as the bits that are transmitted are not changed.
The reason for the change is as follows.
Up to and including version 10, I, as editor of H.245, have maintained my own version of the recommendation, and as each version has been approved, I have submitted it to the ITU-T TSB for publication. They then made editorial changes to it to align the look and feel of it to the ITU-T template. Each time I gave them a new version, they would have to make similar changes.
Due to the rapid approval of new versions, 10 versions in 10 years, the ITU-T publication process was continually a little behind. But by version 11 they had caught up, and the decision was made for future (including version 11) editor's drafts to be based on the previous ITU-T published version.
Hence various changes to spelling and style have been made between the editor's drafts of version 10 and 11 - you have found one of them. Hopefully none of the differences are significant - a lot of effort went into verifying this.
Anyone looking at the published versions would not have seen any such changes between versions 10 and 11 - they would only see the intended technical enhancements.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
Best regards
Mike Nilsson

Latest H.245v11 document (H245WCM28.doc) obtained from packetizer.com (http://www.packetizer.com/voip/h245/Version11/H245WCM28.zip)
has an error in the asn.1 definition:
GenericMessage ::=SEQUENCE
{
messageIdentifier CapabilityIdentifier,
subMessageIdentifier INTEGER(0..127) OPTIONAL,
messageContent SEQUENCE OF GenericParameter OPTIONAL,

}
subMessageIdentifier appears to have been spellchecked and is now different to previous versions. (It was subMessageIdentifer in v10).
