Hi Luke, thanks for closely looking into the manual. You are very invited to comment and to review. I had the chance to update the manual according to your report. Please have a look into chapter 4.
BTW you are right. The task advancing logic lacks consistency at some point. E.g. the AAT start claims to need the manual arm in advance, but it works even if you ignore the arm button at all. The Info->Status page reports a valid start every time you cross the line. XCSoar is once more confusing when you hit the Arm after you did y valid AAT start. >From a distant view it works all fine and fulfill the need, even without the Arm function for the AAT start. I strongly to vote for a more simple handling with less buttons in 6.1. If you have time, have a look and comment.
