Modified Diagram (from question)

aLegendWai (9k? KGS): Correct me if wrong.
Nothing is wrong in this endgame play. Since white(W) is protected by the circled white stone. Nothing black(B) can do unless there're some dead black stones in W's territory and B can make use of them.

HolIgor: I think that white could do better.

One very theoretical example (Part A)

One very theoretical example (Part B)

aLegendWai (9k? KGS): It is a theoretical example showing how dead stones can be alive (supposing W wrongly plays at W2). After the sequence up to B7, it is likely for B to make a separate living group.
Note:
- Even if W doesn't play at W6, W cannot make any good ko fight (B can avoid any disadvantageous ko fight!).
- the cutting point [circled point] is not a problem at all due to sufficient B liberties.

You may see a player forms a separate group (by similar skills in the endgame) from real games on the Internet although this kind of situations usually appears towards the end of another corner.
