Some time ago we parted out 8 Small super hero sets which, in theory gave us
8 sh077 minifigs

They sat in our inventory f0r a while until someone bought 2 of them. We shipped
them out along with some other bits and got a message back from the buyer that
1 of the sh077's had an incorrect hair piece. He included a photo which clearly
shows item 92081 rather than 98726. We could not understand how that happened,
so we went to the other 6 and 2 of those also had what appears to be an alternate
hair piece. No mention of this anywhere that I can find - should there be an
alternate or a note

Yes, looks like human error rather than an alternate minifigure.

I guess one way to confirm would be for Cal to check his inventory on the hair
parts to see if there are fewer of the 92081s then there ought to be, and more
of the other

That only works if they haven't sold any of that hairpiece. They could have
send them all when selling that part and the customer not noticed or cared (or
were happy) when they got a more valuable piece by mistake.
