And that's another way to resolve the issue!  :-)

Checking some EcmaScript spec pages, like this one:

http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=es3.1:es3.1_proposal_working_draft

it appears that current versions of the spec have basically removed the 
description that the properties are unordered, without specifying that 
they're ordered, or how their ordered.  But a step in the 'right' 
direction, I suppose.
