Section 9.3 says:

  0-to-256-unicode-char Password:
  4D 79 50 77

  16-octet PasswordHash:

It should say:

  0-to-256-unicode-char NtPassword:
  4D 00 79 00 50 00 77 00

Section 8.3 says:

   NtPasswordHash(
   IN  0-to-256-unicode-char Password,
   OUT 16-octet              PasswordHash )
   {
      /*
       * Use the MD4 algorithm [5] to irreversibly hash Password
       * into PasswordHash.  Only the password is hashed without
       * including any terminating 0.
       */
   }

It should say:

   NtPasswordHash(
   IN  0-to-256-unicode-char Password,
   OUT 16-octet              PasswordHash )
   {
      /*
       * Use the MD4 algorithm [5] to irreversibly hash Password
       * encoded in UTF-16-LE into PasswordHash.
       * Only the password is hashed without
       * including any terminating 0.
       */
   }

Notes:

Section 8.3 is silent on Unicode encoding used for passwords.
Section 9.2 seem to imply that the Unicode encoding used in UTF-16-LE.
