From:
http://www.xulplanet.com/references/elemref/ref_XULElement.html#attr_ordinal
"
An integer which specifies the position of the element within its parent. By default, elements appear in the order they appear in the XUL code. The ordinal attribute can be used to change the order. Note the default ordinal for elements is 1. You can retrieve the displayed order by using the properties of the boxObject of the container.
"

I don't know much about the ordinal property, but doesn't that mean this is intended, then?

Bug 93519 where it was implemented seems to imply the same thing.
