Section 4.5.4 says:

          The compound Join/Prune message contains a Prune(S,G,rpt).

          The (S,G,rpt) downstream state machine on interface I
          transitions back to the Prune state.  The Expiry Timer (ET) is
          restarted, set to maximum of its current value and the
          HoldTime from the triggering Join/Prune message.

It should say:

          A compound Join/Prune message containing a Prune(S,G<rpt) is 
          received on interface I with its Upstream Neighbor Address 
          set to the router’s primary IP address on I.

          The (S,G,rpt) downstream state machine on interface I
          transitions back to the Prune state.  The Expiry Timer (ET) is
          restarted, set to maximum of its current value and the
          HoldTime from the triggering Join/Prune message.

Notes:

This section does not consider “Upstream Neighbor Address” as does “Receive Prune(S,G,rpt)” in “Transitions from Prune State” on page 60 or “Receive Prune(S,G,rpt)” in “Transitions from Prune-Pending State” on page 59. Is that information not important in this state transition?
