There is a typo in Eq. 45 from LSE-40 that propagated into the calculation of the source counts used in the calculation of the magnitude limit. For the g,r,i bands (which I had on hand), this change resulted in a negligible O(1e-4) change in the SNR=5 reference magnitude limit, which is probably why it wasn't found before. However, it has now been corrected and a test has been added.
