FWIW, my last experience with orchestral auditions - 30 years ago - was that I was admonished not to talk at all. To maintain at least an appearance of anonymity for the auditionees and fairness of the process, the judges were supposed to hear nothing that could identify the player.

I can't think of a reason at an audition for a specific playing position in an orchestra, amateur or professional, why an auditioning player wouldn't play the part as he or she knows it should be, with any known errata in the part corrected.
