I have not seen any evidence that 错别字 can refer to "mispronounced" characters. My paper 《现代汉语词典》 and Pleco's GF (规范) both define it as 错字和别字. As does Baidu Baike: 错别字,顾名思义是指错字和别字。 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%94%99%E5%88%AB%E5%AD%97/7650082 and Wikipedia 错别字就是错字和别字的统称,又称白字。 https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%8C%AF%E5%88%A5%E5%AD%97

While I recognize that Pleco's ABC, PLC, and OCC dictionaries include "mispronounced", I haven't seen any examples. This is probably just one dictionary copying each other.

This phrase also appears to be specific to Chinese characters.

在国中任教的廖淑贞指出,现在的孩子因使用电脑,多半不喜欢写字,经常错别字一堆,使用中文的能力已大大地降低。

旅美作家韩秀在中国大陆出生长大,但她对简体字实在不敢恭维,她形容简体字不是「去头断尾」,就是「少胳臂、缺手脚」,而且一大堆同音异义字胡乱套用,简直是错别字连篇,看了真难过。

他说,先天失明者对文字毫无概念,打字时容易形成「同音异字」的错别字,目前他自建了一个包括成语和法律常用字的词库,已累积五千个,希望能和视障者分享,但毕竟个人力量有限,如果政府能建立视障者适用的「资料处理中心」,蒐集常用的词库,就能解决他们在职场上面临的错别字问题,也能吸收新知。
