it is only a strawman if they are misrepresenting the biblical writing to better suit their argument.
id say that example falls more closely under the composition fallacy. ie; because this contradiction is false, then god is also false.
however, i almost never hear that being said. more accurately id say people use such a contradiction as an example of how the bible can be wrong even if treated as law previously. It's a curiosity of "how can one be so fervently behind a text that has not only been revised dozens of times, but also been flat out wrong? How can one be so sure?".
