Same section 2.5.1, 5th paragraph, the first sentence doesn't sound
"right" (that "that" is the culprit IMHO, but maybe a native English
speaker should check it - I could be wrong here, but there is a missing
preposition "in" and that calls for a "which".)

To this native English speaker, the original version with "that" sounds much better than using "in which":

At the end of each garbage-collection cycle, the finalizers for objects

If you want to be formal about it (though the text is hardly formal in general, which is fine):

At the end of each garbage-collection cycle, the finalizers for objects
are called in the reverse *of the* order that the objects were marked for
finalization, among those collected in that cycle;

The other changes are good; thanks, Lorenzo.
