This behaviour exists in both MAIN and the ML branch.  It was introduced
in ltmain.in rev. 1.79.2.2 (ILD branch), and merged in 1.138 (March 1999).

It seems this was fully intentional.  In fact, the code says

          # Make sure that $var contains only unique libraries
          # and add them in reverse order

The ChangeLog only has

* ltmain.in: Merged Thomas' ild-patch.  Untested.
