And who should be the arbitrator of style vs. mistake?

  It's easy enough to ask the person that wrote it. Why, do you think answering that is typically difficult or unclear? And to be clear I mean asking about specific instances, so don't point back at the blog post, which seems to be a case of Amazon making a mistake. All of the hyphens quoted from Moonstruck are grammatically correct.

    True, if the process just involves asking the author then I have no issues with that, and it should be easy to resolve. I do think it is difficult for anyone other than the author to answer that question though. For me, only the "red-head scarf" example would be a mistake, but others in this thread indicated that 3 or 4 of the examples were wrong for them.
