My personal opinion is that ... no, "using the wrong latin suffix" DOES NOT
"fall under this provision."
Latinization concerns the "creation" of a word that does not exist (or did
not exist) in Latin by making the root of the new word from the root of the
non-Latin one.
The new word has a root that is the result of the Latinization, and its
usage is ruled by the Latin Grammar. Thus, the endings to use for the
plural genitive are not a matter of Latinization. Any "inadvertent error"
in their use is simply corrected by a mandatory justified emendation.
