Is this errata, or am I missing something?

You're missing that -10 +5 = -5
The FIRST -5 of the penalty implies that there's more penalty. That's the -5 for ANYWHERE but brush or shadowy tunnels, or encumberance, or being surprised, etc etc. It's almost always at least -10 (because in brush or shadowy areas the PCs often
get surprised instead of do the surprising, and you
can't buy up the technique to cover the situational modifiers.
