I was assuming Olorin brought the Elessar when he arrived with Radagast and Saruman in TA 1000. I suppose you're right, he could have arrived earlier. Galadriel and Celeborn's movements are very complex. The text states that Olorin meets Galadriel in Greenwood. I searched and couldn't find any info about this; at what time period is Galadriel in Greenwood? If it's around this time period, then I agree that the text should stay where it is.
