Indeed, see:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/find/parser.c#n1502


$ find -newerbm /dev/null
find: invalid predicate `-newerbm'


The attached fixes the documentation.
Thanks for the report.

Looking at the source code indicates that only uppercase `B` is recognized (not lowercase `b`)

findutils doc for Test: -newerXY reference.

‘B’  Birth time of reference

while in the text just following, `b` is mentioned.

Which should be used, `B`(uppercase)  or `b` (lowercase) , or maybe both variants work?

PS:
Sorry I cannot test this, Birth is not stored in my filesystem
