Can I ask whether I've misunderstood a point in the body of the report?
I thought that what it was trying to say was that Mike had been described on paper as a taxilane. But physically it didn't look like a taxilane, and had all the visual characteristics of a taxiway. Therefore, even if you were aware from your paperwork that Mike was approaching, you wouldn't be expecting to see it look like a taxiway; and therefore, if you saw a taxiway ahead of you, you might mistakenly think that it was still Bravo and continue along it.
If I've got that right, it's a relatively subtle point, and I wouldn't be surprised if the summary writer didn't manage to grasp or convey that.
