I am a bit lost here….

This: The xTR needs to receive traffic with the destination port equal to the 
translated port and the source port equal to  the well-known port 4341.

Is not what the document says. The NAT state is such that the xTR behind it 
will receive LISP packets with destination port 4341 (as for the standard), 
your sentence seems to suggest the opposite.
