Note 1 also says that in accordance with the procedure you may descend down to 4800ft within 13.5 IMGL which I'm sure people will miss due to the wide 'zoom' shown.
I guess I'm not seeing the trap. I agree that the presentation is cluttered, but the altitude in the hold is pretty clearly 6000 ft, and I would assume that prior to even beginning the approach before the need for the orbit became evident, the crew would have reviewed those DME fixes and altitudes and had an understanding of what altitude they could be at what distance while inbound on the localizer. Anyway, we're discussing pretty fine points here, I think you and I are largely in agreement on the overall issue.
