It is possible that later Christian versions of the Septuagint “corrected” the word to “virgin”, in order to fit later Christian theology.

No, can’t be, since it would have been noticed instantly by contemporaries - rather, Matthew quotes LXX and bases his virgin birth story on it. (Or, in case Matthew was not an originator of this, then an earlier author based it on LXX). And of course no scholar supports this.
