*** kill any header (with newline) then try yanking in various places
in the stars of any indented header that has things above it.  you
should get multiple demotions that do not conform to outline.

In my opinion, your "^" marks do not satisfy the specified criteria.

Personally I use [[help:org-paste-subtree]] C-c C-x C-y directly. It has 
a minor issue however. First time after emacs start it refuses to yank 
subtree from X clipboard (prepared externally). Regular paste with undo 
C-y C-/ is enough to convince the function that there is a subtree in 
the clipboard. Next time it works without such dance.
