I doubt the typo correction is the cause for this ... but rather the 
reordering of masquerading options and mailer definitions in sendmail.mc
which allows to create a sendmail.cf out of the box.

(I posted a diff of the generated default sendmail.cf in these 2 
versions to the bug previously, but you probably didn't get a copy of this)

Could you apply the typo correction manually on 8.14.9-2:

sed -i s/GroupReadableaDefaultAuthInfoFile/GroupReadableDefaultAuthInfoFile/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/domain/debian-mta.m4

and see if rebuilding sendmail.cf causes the same problem?
How does the diff between the two sendmail.cf file versions look like?

Anyway, this should be working fine in experimental where sendmail
actually knows about GroupReadableDefaultAuthInfoFile
