Is the belief that there are no differences between the HyperSpec and the ANSI spec, or at least that none of these errors are not present in both?

Yes, that is what I believe. Authorship info in the hyperspec seems to
imply that, but it is not explicit:

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/Help.htm#Authorship
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/Help.htm#Caveats

The earlier page also used the term "ANSI" and not HyperSpec.
