This report is correct. The reference to the ASN.1 encoding mechanisms document, which should be "ITU-X690-1997", was introduced in draft-ietf-dkim-base-04 (which later became RFC 4871, which was later replaced by RFC 6376), and the 660-vs-690 typo was in there at the time. I guess no one checked the reference and found the error.
