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.
