This sentence is less clear than it could be:
"Insertion relocates markers that point at positions after the
insertion point, so that they stay with the surrounding text (*note
Markers::)."
We shouldn't use the verb "point" in this way; it invites confusion
with the nown "point". Something like this is better:
"Insertion moves markers located at positions after the insertion
point, so that they stay with the surrounding text (*note Markers::)."
In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2008-12-19 on LENNART-69DE564
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600

I've now installed your version in Emacs 24.
