The same has happened to a few other developers. Luc Vandal tweeted that his Mac app was rejected for mentioning compatibility with macOS Mojave:

And Hendrik Holtmann said his app was rejected for mentioning iOS 12 in the release notes - after iOS 12 had been publicly released:

Hmm I've received a couple MAS updates already claiming Mojave compatibility in their release notes. In fact I just updated Magnet, which does so.

Yep, Luc's own app was previously approved with Mojave mentioned in the release notes, then rejected later by Apple for mentioning it. It seems to be the luck of the draw, depending on which reviewer you get and how strictly they want to apply the rules that day:

You can also probably assume that they sometimes miss things. Unfortunately. Rather than just strict application of the rules.
