We can confirm nor deny, DependencyCheck simply reports on the information retrieved from OSSIndex and NVD data. Our automated scan however did not surface the issues, so it appears the attribution to unrelated versions has been fixed in the meanwhile in the OSSINDEX API.
I would expect on the next cache expiry of the OSSINDEX cache entry your false positive would disappear
