Originally spotted by @MatthiasWiesmann in review of

And indeed, "reoccurrence" has different meaning from "recurrence" and also formally listed in dictionaries, e.g.

In search trends https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=reoccurrence,recurrence&hl=en it is only 3 to 79 so ~25 times less "popular" than "recurrence".

Overall -- LGTM, used widely enough, and thus IMHO should not be listed as a typo.

It was added long ago in "original" 19e0f4920
