For me, it hasn't been an issue yet. I've not read any of these stories elsewhere and nothing has scanned oddly. They are very good reads, in fact.

It would be nice to have the stories as originally written, but from what I understand he's been edited rather freely his entire career. Poor guy.
Tales is supposed to be based on the corrected texts, so in spite of the new errors, you won't see any of the old errors.

Does anyone know of a website where these kinds of errors are tracked?
No, sorry. I've made errata lists for the Penguin editions, or at least lists of every instance where the Penguin edition differs from the corrected Arkham House edition (some of these aren't errors but new corrections, I'm sure). However, Joshi hasn't yet had the time to look at them.

Anyway, that list would be very uncomplete when applied to Tales, since that book has the same errors as the Dell volumes (=the Penguin errors plus some more).
