So, I was in yet another thread about overruns, mounted charges, and the rest of that hot steaming mess the PDT refuses to address while they answer important questions like "does the Bard Loremaster ability actually do anything?".
Now, the issue was how "as part of a charge" works, with some people espousing the ...novel... idea that they get a free action overrun in addition to their charge attack. Seeing that it is a Core Rulebook issue, I decided to engage in a bit of rules archaeology. And I found out that the part about overruns as part of a charge was errataed out of the 3.5 PHB; Skip Williams mentions it here. Checking d20srd.org, it doesn't have the "during a charge" wording either.
I find it unlikely (to the point of "no reasonable doubt") that Paizo would deliberately re-introduce overrun-during-charge using the same confusing wording, when simple transcription error explains it much better.
TL;DR: "overrun during charge" is in the CRB because someone at Paizo was copying from the wrong document.

d20srd.org includes the errata. It is not the same as the official SRD.
As far as I know, the errata wasn't declared Open Content, so Paizo couldn't use it even if they wanted to.

...yeah, that wasn't the best way to write the thread title.
