Disabled list problem with minor-leaguers on 40-man

I have a minor-leaguer with a season-ending injury. He is listed in AAA and is also on the 40-man roster. According to the game mechanics, I should be allowed to DL him on the 60-day DL and then move another player onto the 40-man roster in his place.

This is what happens:

1.) When I drag the guy to the DL, I get a message that says

This player will be placed on the 60 day DL. Proceed? (Yes/No)

2.) If I click Yes, then he's placed on the 60-day DL, which is correct.
3.) If I instead click No, then I get the following prompt:

Select Disbled List (15-day DL/60-day DL)

(yes, the 6.12 typo that says "Disbled" is still present in 6.5)

As a result of this second prompt, which shouldn't be given, I can 15-day DL the guy. This shouldn't be possible. Luckily it doesn't remove him from the 40-man so it doesn't look like it can be exploited as a loophole.

The ramifications of this are minor, but it's still a buggie. Also, can't that damn typo be fixed?
