Yes I can confirm that and I'd guess it comes from the method used to 
delay-load the different files. It does a user-agent check here:

var docWrite = (agent.match("MSIE") || agent.match("Safari"));

if docWrite is true, it uses document.write("<script ... />") to load 
the scripts. If it is false, it uses 
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(...) to load them.

as far I know, appendChild will load the files in the order the server 
responds, while document.write will wait for one file to load before the 
next gets loaded -- but this is only from my own and limited tests.

Loading the files in the wrong order produces the described problems.
