But wait, does not \/HELLO/ set the dot before executing `k'?

The manual states clearly that the current address is unchanged:

http://www.gnu.org/software/ed/manual/ed_manual.html#Commands

(.)kx
Marks a line with a lower case letter 'x'. The line can then be addressed as ''x' (i.e., a single quote followed by 'x') in subsequent commands. The mark is not cleared until the line is deleted or otherwise modified. The current address is unchanged.

Best regards,
Antonio.
