Finale bug from Lilypond "Essay" found in commercial score

I'm typesetting Earl Wild's piano transcription of Rachmaninoff's "In the
Silent Night" in Lilypond for my own use. The original is set using Finale
from around 1990 (the copyright date). In bar 31, there's a B sharp in the
second voice in the right hand, and later in the bar, an octave B natural in
the first voice. However, the engraver has forgotten to draw a natural sign
in front of one of the B's in the first voice. I confirmed that the natural
is intended by listening to Wild's own recording. This is the exact same
Finale bug mentioned in the Bach Fugue example from the "Essay on Automated
Music Engraving" on the Lilypond site! It just goes to show that even good
typesetters can't catch all of Finale's mistakes.
