In this instance my impression is that "nevertheless" is simply an error
for the 'conjunction' "much less" (which has its own entry in AHD
apparently), or perhaps equivalent "even less".

I would not expect this error to be especially frequent, and I don't see
how one would easily and effectively search for it.
