Form 8958 populating with incorrect 1040 line numbers

I'm filing my taxes with TurboTax 2023 desktop and noticed that some of the line numbers which auto-populate and cannot be change on my Form 8958 cite incorrect 1040 line numbers.

 

For "Capital gains and losses", it cites "from Form 1040, line 6" but capital gains and losses are on 1040, line 7.

For "Pension income", it cites "from Form 1040, line 4d", but the correct line is 1040, line 5b.

Is it bringing the correct numbers even though it is referencing the incorrect lines?  The 1040 has changed line numbers over the years so it is certainly possible that the references are outdated even if it is drawing the correct data.

Yes, the dollar amounts are correct. It’s just the labels that are wrong.

If the taxes are calculating correctly, that is what counts. The actual 8658 instructions don't even have that much information.
