Yes, this is consistent with other objects.

To be precise: it's easting northing of upper left corner and easting 
northing of lower right corner.

I can get it to "work" by deactivating the map border (border n) and 
then drawing two rectangles, one as map border and the other as the 
legend rectangle, with the latter below the former in the ps.map file:

maploc 0.705 1.158  6.671 6.017
border n

paper a4
     left 0.5
     right 0.5
     bottom 1
     top 1
     end

raster elevation at PERMANENT
rectangle 630000 228500 645000 215000
     color black
     fcolor none
     width 1.0
     end
rectangle 629830 218445 634471 213474
     color black
     fcolor 233:244:26
     width 2.0
     end


end

But I agree that this kind of detour shouldn't be necessary.
