This was my reaction as well - the NASB trying to "correct" the text. In fact, if you check the NASB for this verse at
http://bible.crosswalk.com , (you then have to type in the reference and choose the translation you want) it includes a refernce to 1 Chr. 23:3, which does say "thirty". While the note does not admit to having ammended the Hebrew text, that's what it looks like.

So the question is, does the NASB make such "corrections" often?

Karl,

Maybe it's not a typo but an attempted correction based on this text.
Is that possible? The translators may have asked themselves what part
a three-year-old might have in the events of 2 Chron. 31.

It looks like a typo, based on Leviticus 4 where those who work in the
temple as priests are from 30–50 years old.
