Looks fine to me, though I never got hung up on circling so I'm
not the target audience.

Ditto. Your rewrite is clearer; worth including in the rulebook.
If there's room I'd change 8.3 to the following:
A squadron can spend 1 MP to stay in its current square; this is
termed circling [8.3.1]. When spending an MP to circle a
squadron can also turn within the square by any amount [8.1.1].

Trying to address the clarity of the rules on circling, I’m
considering the following rule text changes:
I want to change the 3rd sentence of 8.1.1 to:
8.1.1 third sentence
A squadron that spends MP to circle can turn any amount without
leaving the square [8.3].
I think that removing references to ‘1 MP’ clarifies that
circling can absorb any number of MP.
I want to change the 4th paragraph of 8.3 to:
8.3 fourth para
A squadron can spend 1 or more MP to stay in its current square;
this is termed circling. A squadron that circles can also turn
within the square by any amount [8.1.1]. Circling does not end
movement; squadrons can expend MPs to circle before entering
another square.
Again, this makes it clearer that circling can absorb multiple
MP. The additional verbiage also clarifies that circling does
not end movement and can happen mid-move - something that seems
to have confused some people.
Now, to achieve this I have had to trim text elsewhere for
length. So the second paragraph of 8.3 has been trimmed to this:
8.3 second para
If a squadron moves into an adjacent square at a higher
altitude, it costs MPs equal to the climb value on the
aircraft’s ADC. Use the climb value for the altitude it starts
from. This cost applies only to the first square the squadron
climbs into during a Movement Phase; if it climbs into a second
square in that phase, it costs 2 MPs, regardless of the climb
value.

[quote author=Lee Brimmicombe-Wood

8.1.1 third sentence
A squadron that spends MP to circle can turn any amount without
leaving the square [8.3].[/quote]
Should be "A squadron that spends MPs (...)"

Roger that. I've updated the text.
