I reported this and asked to be contacted, but no one ever bothered, so I suspect nothing was done to fix it or train the staff how to use TIMATIC correctly. Good luck!
I did indeed read it. That is what I've been concerned about all along... really the most I can do (short of getting a China visa I don't need) is send it all to DL in advance, have them notate the PNR accordingly, and if problems on the ground then call them and hopefully they can then clear it up. Luckily I have some 6h transit in NRT (the long layovers there are unavoidable, with how DL does the scheduling), so there should be enough time to make things right if any issues there -- I hope!
