What are you objecting to? The claimed change is romhV > ro:mV and
what may have preceded the /r/ is irrelevant. Modern English does
have VC.V syllabification, though the author of the PDF seems to be
unaware of this. I think it's actually more likely that he ignored it
as an inconvenient linguisitically atypical fact.
