"switch without warning to config" is the DNS records right? The lines starting with ";".

Those are in DNS zone file syntax. And the line "Then create the DNS records below" is supposed to introduce them. But The two sentences afterwards continue with prose. Perhaps it's clearer if that paragraph ends with something like: "Add the following DNS records to your DNS zone file, or add them through your DNS operator web interface: "?

Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding the issue.
