Yes it is (and [sic] is specifically used for verbatim quotes[1]). Companies often take their style guides pretty seriously, so an extra space can be a big deal. But in any case, The New Yorker has extremely high AP standards, so that's why I'm surprised to see even such a slight mistake.

I looked it up and the AP style guide now recommends against using [sic].
