Section 5.3. says:

The message is encrypted with a session key, and the session key is itself encrypted and stored in the Encrypted Session Key packet or the Symmetric-Key Encrypted Session Key packet.

It should say:

The message is encrypted with a session key, and the session key is itself encrypted and stored in the Public-Key Encrypted Session Key packet or the Symmetric-Key Encrypted Session Key packet.

Notes:

The word `Public-Key' is missing.
