I would just suggest to make it explicit in this bullet:

Instead:

* - reachability of a prefix that was reachable earlier was lost*

*say: *

* - reachability of a prefix that was reachable earlier was lost or node
originating such prefix was signalled with OL bit set or MAX_METRIC set.*

or something along those lines.

Thx,
R.
