Accidentally on purpose has two meanings as far as I can tell.

The first would be (as Greg described) doing a global change to insert the PC term in a careless manner, resulting in a really bad correction in a science paper.

The second would be doing it on purpose to poke fun at PC-ness, and hiding behind "whoops" after the fact.

"Intensive purposes" obviously made it past the word processor's spell checker but "chizzled"?  Maybe the kids have some new slang. . . .
