It should say:

          [...].  The HMAC is then calculated over the entire MIKEY
|  message, excluding the MAC field, using auth_key as described in [2]
   section 5.2, and then stored within the MAC field.

or perhaps even better and clearer:

|  entire MIKEY message, excluding the MAC field, as described in [2]
   section 5.2, and then stored within the MAC field.
