This is not so surprising.  The editors of BHS did not mechanically cite
every single variant that exists.  They culled through all of them and
simply noted those which they thought would be of some interest.  Those
which they deemed to be complete abberations, they simply left out.  D. 
Winston Thomas, who edited Isaiah for BHS, must have decided that this 
variant was not worth noting.
