The new Chilean rules have been in tzdata since release 2018f (dated
2018-10-18). Although I don't understand the format of the messages that you
reported, evidently the new Chilean rules haven't propagated into your system.
Most likely this is because your version of tzupdater doesn't fully grok the
tzdata format and you need to use what is called "rearguard" format. Please see:

You might want to let Oracle know that they really should publish a fixed
version of their tool.
