I tried again with gitk (because procrastinating something else).

    I agree with you, that taking that errata to heart, there shouldn't be
    text stating that the "client MUSt NOT".

There are some other hits for "the requesting router", but only this one
seemed relevant.  I think that this edit is where the text in question went
away.... yes:

                 <t hangText="-">For each delegated prefix, the client assigns a
                 subnet to each of the links to which the associated interfaces are
-                attached, with the following exception: the client MUST
-                NOT advertise any delegated prefixes or subnets from the delegated
-                prefix(es) to the link through which it received the DHCP message
-                from the server (see <xref target="RFC6603"/> for exceptions).
+                attached.

and the committer is this "bevolz" guy.
It seems in the commit message attached to this, that maybe the edit didn't
do what Bernie actually wanted.  Maybe too much text was removed?
It also seems that "advertise" here referred to RAs, and wasn't about
numbering that link itself.
