This line would mean, that TBs are faulty:

    668528   0.935  Mat19 21t  1.f4 exf3 2.Kf1 f2 3.e4 dxe4 4.Kxf2 e3+ 5.Ke1
                               e2 6.d5 cxd5 7.Kxe2 d4 8.Kd2 d3 9.c6 bxc6
                               10.Kxd3 {EGTB} 10...Kb7! 11.Kd4 Ka8! 12.Kc5!
                               Kb7 13.a8=Q+ Kxa8 14.Kxc6!! Kb8 15.b7!! Ka7
                               16.Kc7!! Ka6 17.b8=Q! Ka5 18.Qb3! Ka6 19.Qb6#
                               {1001}

The main line is identical to the one given by you. Only in the part already in
TBs there is a difference. Most probably, it is not a mate in 18.

Yace can also find a mate here without TBs.
