I wouldn't know about the timing, but the idea that specific derivations of original quotes emerge, grow, and become widespread is hardly earth shattering, and doesn't require any sort of intentional participation (psyop or otherwise).
I also don;t know that interviewing bible readers would actually help to get to the bottom of it. What are the chances that people who confidently misquote a book can pinpoint how or why they did so? You'd have to have a huge pool in order to posit some demographic explanation, for example...some thing that all of the people who share this misapprehension had in common, and it doesn't seem to be limited to bible readers or bible believers in the first place.
You know what I'd do, to narrow it down? Get someone to ask non english speakers. Might find it there, too..but it would be a good start.
