It’s not the first time it’s accidentally appeared!
there are two rehearsals transmitted on the 31st to give them a chance to practice - but there's no guarantee the timings will be the same. The incoming feed doesn't have a listen of the host's talkback either.
Curiously they go to great efforts to mask the Rolex logo from appearing on screen, but Petroc always has to give them a verbal credit in his commentary.
Presumably they go to great efforts to follow general BBC “no sponsorship allowed” rules as far as they can (including imagery and graphics) but the auditory mention is probably contractual, so they have to have it. A bit like the “whatever the sponsor is league” on Match of the Day.

Does make me wonder how they are going to deal with Champions League highlights next season. Clean titles but a verbal mention? Or showing the logos next to the scoreboard like they already do with the Hublot timing sponsors on MOTD?

The ZDF highlights in Germany use the clean intro and carry no sponsorship stings or verbal/visible mentions of the sponsors (or any other adverts as it airs in primetime). I'd presume the BBC would be able to do similar.
I think the ZDF live coverage of the final was a bit different as they often have sponsorship stings on live sport.
EDIT: Found screen recordings of the intro/outro from a few months back as an example.
Will be so strange hearing that on the BBC, assuming UEFA don't decide to mess with it like they've messed with the format when the new style tournament launches.
See alongside the previously announced 60 Songs and 60 Classical Songs specials to mark 60 years of BBC2 there is a two hour block of classic comedy on Saturday night an a further hour on Sunday.

And there's also a Two Doors Down repeat on Monday night. BBC2 Northern Ireland isn't showing any of the festivities tomorrow night though, as that channel is showing a GAA quarter final at the same time.
On BBC Two’s 60th Birthday, a rare presentation moment from 1992 with the BBC Two logo on Channel 4 presentation, and vice versa, for the joint screening of Tosca:
