Probably, but it's too late for that to be changed: this was in Amendment 3 of ISO 10646, and that's already out the door.

The original, preliminary proposal, N2505, had "TUDAG" for all three characters. N2984 was a revision (evidently by only one of three authors of N2505 -- if that's relevant or not), and it changed the spellings to the forms above. It certainly appears that there may have been  an unintended error in the name of 1C78. But it went into PDAM3 that way, and the typo apparently was never caught during three rounds of balloting.
