And that's what I think is incorrect. It should be TMS Up in order to make a point track. Don't think you can do a fix based on an area track.

Why do you think that? The text at the top of your screenshot literally says: "in AREA or POINT track modes".

Well, at least when I test this, I can't fix the delta if my TGP has an area track, only point track. But I may doing something wrong, though.

Maybe something changed/got borked in the INS update.

I never done this, but why would be point track only? Area track seems perfectly reasonable of a mode to do something like this, especially when point track can snap the TGP onto a moving object without the pilot consent, IIRC.
Area track tends to grab the ground pretty well.

I totally agree, nevertheless, it doesn't work for me when I try to do a FIX if the TGP has an area track.

There is nothing in real-world documentation that states (that we have seen) the TGP must be in POINT track specifically to perform a position fix using the TGP. In the manual excerpt posted in the OP, it even states "in AREA or POINT track modes" at the top of the page.

Allrighty then. I'll post a bug about not being able to do TGP fix with area track then. But the trk file will be awfully long in order to achieve drift.
