Black's tenuki  

It is known from pro games for Black to ignore white+circle. In fact this was played by Cho Chikun in 2002, and it had occurred earlier in a Korean game.

The pincer stone is too close  

B1 and B3 are played for Black to survive here, quickly. You'd have to say that black+circle now looks misplaced - too close to W2 and W4 and a target for attack shortly.
