Oh that's a fine thing. I can't remember a mistake at this moment but I
remember NOTING them as I read RTTW. Also, I don't have my books with me. A
cursory search in Amazon's book search does offer this, however, although it
is not an error and it is not unequivocal:

Narrator talking to the godling (who refers to him as "holy one"):
"It was as if there were shooting stars in his hands, like the stars at the
bottom of the grave to which Silk and Hyacinth had driven Orpine's body in a
dream he recalled with uncanny clarity."
RTTW 138
