You raise a valid point, Stephen.
Another ready example of conflicting multiple editions is Richard Rodney Bennett's After Syrinx II, so much so that one of my DMA students is including a discussion of the contradictions as part of his dissertation.
Klatzow's Concerto was originally self-published under the Musiciations label. In a quick examination of the manuscript solo part,orchestra score, and piano reduction, and a later version of the solo part (all pre-PME), I find a few minor accidental errors, a phrasing change or two, and one oddly missing measure at the very end of the 1st movement. I don't think any of these issues is beyond the ability of a thoughtful performer to resolve.
However, I have not seen the PME edition and I do know from previous experience that mysterious gremlins often lurk in new published editions, so it is important to always cross-reference all available sources. When in doubt,the best starting points are always the composer and first performer.
There was once a growing errata section on the PAS message board. I'm not sure what happened to it, but perhaps Nat could add such a feature to this site.
