It’s possible the s1.3 explanations is not clear and we were maybe a little overzealous with our reference updates. When RFC 8829 (JSEP) was published, there was a contradiction regarding bundle-only "m=“ sections between JSEP and BUNDLE (as specified in RFC 8843). This contradiction was explained in s1.3 of RFC 8829. RFC 9143, which updates RFC 8843) and this I-D are the “fix".  Maybe this would be clearer:

   When [RFC8829] was published, inconsistencies regarding BUNDLE
   operation were identified with regard to both the
   specification text as well as implementation behavior.  The former
   concern was addressed via an update to BUNDLE, see [RFC9143].

The differences were as noted in the remainder of the para.
