Actually, there was an earlier John/Teyla story that the mods classified as "gen" despite the pairing label, but you kindly corrected the error when it was pointed out to you. I must confess I'm not sure why "Side Effects" wasn't listed as John/Ronon when it was given a John/Ronon label on sga_noticeboard (and I know the newsletter posting came after the noticeboard posting).
I actually didn't have a problem with "The New Frontier" classification. I think the story is gen, or else John/Teyla, but if you want to insist on the writer actually saying "gen" in the headers, I can understand your rationale. I certainly wouldn't expect you to guess what the pairing is without reading the story! It just seems that on the (relatively few) occasions when I've seen errors, they have been for non-J/R stories. And, honestly, I would expect you to make more errors for types of stories you don't care about. I do an index for Marvel fanfic and it's a lot harder to be accurate when I'm not familiar with the fandom or don't give a damn about it. That's human nature.
