Most often they're just repeating bad, outdated, or generic (non-technical) information.
Reporters generally aren't looking at actual DD/CD drawings and calculating the height figures themselves, they're just reporting the info they've been given.
In this case, the roof may very well be 813', but there might also be a screen wall above that takes the total height to 844'.
