I'm having second thoughts about the small stack of resumes by Jason Fried that are still sitting on my desk.

Someone changed the title, so if the parent comment doesn't make sense to you, the original title was:
Never Read Another Resume By Jason Fried

If we're going to be picky, isn't it orthographical ambiguity?

Having read RyanMcGreal's comment above I now realise there
is
grammatical ambiguity as well as orthographic :)

Having read tome's comment above, I went and looked up "orthography". :)

Is there a word for ambiguity ambiguity? (i.e. Which type of ambiguity?)

Ambiguity ambiguity sounds like semantic ambiguity, but there are lots of different kinds of that. There's a book that disambiguates ambiguity ambiguity, by W. Empson (math geek turned lit prof),
Seven Types of Ambiguity.

I think it's just grammatical incorrectness, I mean, shouldn't the title of an article be offset in some way?
