If the IPCC wrote that elephants can fly, that would not have any impact on the state of climate research or on the state of elephants. It would just mean that the IPCC report was wrong.
Mistakes in the IPCC report only means the conclusions of the IPCC report could be wrong (if they are bad enough). It can never alter the state of the studies that the IPCC references. They can be right or wrong just like any other studies.
And the article posted makes a pretty convincing case that these mistakes were not in any way central to the conclusions of the IPCC.
