My honest take is that it was intentional. But yes, Poe’s Law will get referenced a lot in the next months/years I guess.

I think it was obviously intentional because they haven't accepted the solution yet.

The purpose is to announce that they are aware of the claims of a solution, not to announce that a solution has been accepted. They're waiting on the required two year timeline before announcing whether or not the solution is accepted. Their writing reflects that they are explicitly NOT accepting a solution until then.
