Yes, Karen Bates was indeed credited for Colors in the above story instead of Letters. Considering Karen probably lettered this, who are we to question the credits?
Interestingly, this was not "corrected" in the Bart Simpson Out to Lunch reprint.

Bart Simpson #48 Bart Simpson #48 -
The Radioactive Man Event Part 2
  (Jun 2009)

The first multiple-title crossover since 1994's When Bongos Collide!

Witness the event series that will change Radioactive Man, Bart Simpson, and the citizens of Springfield's lives forever. It's a three-part tale told in three consecutive weeks that will reinvent summer crossovers and comic storytelling, as we know it! It's 'The Great, Extreme, Ultimate, and Totally Awesome Radioactive Man Event!' In Part 1, the new publisher of Radioactive Man comics, Krusty the Clown, is looking for a new marketing ploy to reinvigorate the character and bring in new readers; however, rumors of changes to the iconic irradiated crusader set the townsfolk abuzz. Is it time to form an angry mob or to form a line at the Android's Dungeon?

The original Simpsons crossover When Bongos Collide began in Itchy & Scratchy #3, was continued in Simpsons Comics #5 and ended in Bartman #3.

This crossover began with Simpsons Comics #155, then continued in Bart Simpson #48 (this comic) and concluded with Simpsons Super Spectacular #9.
