The page says that the crab-eating raccoon is solitary and nocturnal. However, I took the photos of the species used in the article, and the photos were taken (a) during the day and (b) there were a pair of raccoons traveling together. Was this abnormal behavior, or does the article require qualification?

Your picture is a common raccoon and not a crab-eating raccoon so it really needs changing. I have no experience editing wikipedia or in finding correctly licensed images so not sure how to change it. But this does need updating to show correct species. There is a lot of confusion online about what this species looks like!

The main photo is an incorrectly identified common raccoon.
Almost all raccoon photos from Manuel Antonio are of common raccoon, crab eating raccoons have a brown base colour, dark legs, very short fur and a distinctive looking mask shape. More than 50% of Google images results for this species are wrong so it seems to be a common mistake, but the main photo needs changing.

Why the focus on crab eating?
It's not like eating seafood is such a big factor in this article? It's a misnomer , this species doesn't eat seafood more often than any other food. Most of the population lives away from the sea
