This set was first released in 1989 and was still being sold in 1993 catalogs. 1989 is about the time the mold changed on the pins, so it is definitely possible that early sets had the 4459 pins and later sets had the 2780. They would have been the thicker 2780 pins, most likely.
If you want to update the inventory you can submit 2780 as an alternate part to 4459.

Unless someone swapped them out because they are worth 100 times as much.

Hello,
Today I checked my copy of LEGO 8862 set. My copy is still new - just one seal
is broken, but the content is still sealed in original bags. There is a small
sealed bag in the box with a lot of pins. These pins are the old ones - #2780.

2780 are the new ones with center slots. The old ones without center slots are
4459. Which ones are in your set?

I checked the two sets I have in my collection and the non-sealed one has the
2780 variation.
