Apologies, I pasted that from an Org buffer without reformatting.
Attaching a proper patch with your suggested revisions here.

I agree. 'from-org is pretty vague. That, combined with the old 
saving logic was
part of the reason for my initial confusion.
I don't mind keeping it if you feel it's satisfactory, though.
I'm more after the proper functionality.

I've dropped the mention of the current-buffer case in the

Took a look at `org-archive-save-context-info' as you suggested. 
The new docstring is similar to that.
