Question about Demogorgon as written in Fiendish Codex I

I have a question about Demogorgon's writeup in Fiendish Codex I. In his spell like abilities, it lists Dominate Person 1/day, but then lists the save DC as 28. However, doing the math using Demo's Cha score and spell level etc, the save DC should only be 24. So my question is this. Is the save DC a mistake, or was the spell a mistake? Specifically, I am wondering if they meant for him to have Dominate Monster, which is a 9th level spell and would thus have a DC of 28 as opposed to Dominate Person which is a 5th level spell and thus has a DC of 24. Since James Jacobs frequents the boards here, I was hoping he could provide a clarification, or if anyone else here has the book and an opinion about what it should be it would be helpful. I am trying to advance Demo to CR 32 using the guidlines in the book, and was wondering what to do with the DC of that spell like ability, or possibly change it to the other spell if that was the original intention. Thanks!!

The original intent was indeed dominate monster. Looks like this error actually crept in at the turnover stage... too bad it wasn't caught in development or editing. :(
