So, "origin" now means "current branch".

No, "origin" refers to the remote repository that you originally cloned
from.

Pulls always merge into the current branch.  So it wouldn't make sense
to specify the current branch on the command line.

I was also somewhat confused by these examples.  I think the
description is fine as long as we make it clear that they are
not meant to describe what an advanced user _could_ do with
various customizations, but to describe what happens with the
default configuration set up by git-clone.
