Psionic Tattoos, Augments and Metapsionics

[Psychonix]

I have a question regarding psionic tattoos and more specifically, applying augments and metapsionic feats to them.

Psionic Tattoos have a maximum power level of 3.

"The manifester level of a psionic tattoo is the minimum level required to manifest the scribed power. A psionic tattoo can contain only powers of 3rd level or lower."

However, if you augment that power, or apply a metapsionic feat to it, the manifester level of the power increases, whilst the power level remains the same.
As this is not increasing the power level, it is still legal for a psionic tattoo.
However, in the description of Metapsionic Feats, page 41, it states that;

"Level limits for psionic tattoos apply to the power's higher metapsionic level. Thus, a 3rd-level power modified with the Empower Power feat could not be stored in a psionic tattoo, because the power would be equivalent to a 5th-level power for the purpose of limiting manifestation, and a psionic tattoo can hold a power of only up to 3rd level."

This contradicts with the following description from the section immediately above it;

In all ways, a metapsionic power operates at its original power level, even though it costs additional power points.

As well as with the following from the opposite page

If a dorje is crafted with concussion blast augmented by spending 6 additional power points, the minimum effective manifester level for the purpose of determining cost would be 6th (the power level remains unchanged at 2nd), and the dorje would create concussive blasts that deal 5d6 points of damage with a base save DC of 15 (see the Augment section of this power description, page 85).

Which is correct?
