After chatting with Mike Pilato about this, I think there is a
confusion of two independent questions here (plus the documentation
could be clearer).
The rule in svn_delta.h is not about out-of-dateness. It's about the
order of editor calls -- it's trying to give callers some guidance
about what order to do things in. I'm not actually sure why it
specifies this particular order, but in any case it's not about
out-of-dateness. For example, note that the rule does not talk about
files which have changed in the target directory, even though those
would make a difference in out-of-dateness as much as subdirs would.
Regarding the code, I think the comment there (not quoted above) could
be updated to say that the directory may be modified in this txn, but
then must at least be "based" on an up-to-date directory.
Before I tweak that comment, though, I'd like your confirmation that
what I'm saying makes sense.

Mike actually has an ambition to change the ordering requirements (and
therefore our implementations) to make all property changes to a given
target happen *before* any content changes. This might help us solve
issue #2064 too. However, this ambition is only semi-related to your
original question, I think.
I don't know whether any part of Subversion is violating its own
ordering guidelines. (Are you saying svk is?)
