 Even if they are "colossal bluder", they are used by the most popular masahef
 out there so they must be taken into account.
 BTW: these masahef have passed a very extensive certification process that
         involves comparing with Arabic references including spelling ones but
        Arabic is a very rich langauge and the fact that one form is correct 
        doesn't mean that the rest are wrong.
        As long as they are certified, no one has the right to say that they
        are wrong until he goes to the authorities that certified it and
        question them about it. (They are very knowledgable scholars, for
        example the current QuranComplex printings are certified with 
        Mohammed Khalil Al-Hosary leading the certification committee
        and you can find his sign in every mushaf there. Clearly you cannot
        say that he and his committee are wrong without any proof like that)

 The masahef you mentioned is "historic" (no doubt they are important, but
 the most popular mushaf is of higher priority).

 Moreover, taking into account the most popular mushaf by QuranComplex along
 with those Shamarly and Al-Haramain masahef won't contradict with or break
 the masahef you mentioned (which are historic)
