Thanks. Yes, I've just been studying this and I misunderstood it before.
It's fine.

So far so good, assuming the incoming change really was a "delete" (or a
move).

That looks lovely. The details of the incoming change look correct, the
node kinds are correct, and the base revision is updated to 3. "My"
version of the node is preserved as the working version, by
re-scheduling it as a copy of beta_at_2, where previously the existing node
was scheduled to be replaced with a copy of beta_at_2.
