Comment (by nacin):

 This is actually SimplePie. Having a feed out of order by post date is a
 bit weird, but long ago I found if you have multiple items with the same
 date, SimplePie might rearrange them, which produces unexpected results.
 Unsure if that affects 1.3 or even 1.2 SimplePie.

 There's a way to tell SimplePie to ignore sorting. I don't remember what
 it is, but you can use the wp_feed_options hook, which passes the
 SimplePie object along with the URL as context.
