Comment (by tristangemus):

 The Wordpress.org API is using the user-agent to do something on their
 end.

 Add the following code to your theme.

 Steps to show the proper order:

 1. Use the 'http_request_args' filter to modify the request args

 {{{#!php
 add_filter( 'http_request_args', function( $r, $url ) {
         $r['user-agent'] = 'WordPress/4.7.2; http://wordpress.dev';

         return $r;
 }, 10, 2 );
 }}}

 2. Click 'View Details' on any plugin

 * You should have the proper order now.

 We can of course modify the order of this on our end, but that seems
 messy. I haven't worked with the Wordpress.org API, I think it makes the
 most sense to reach out and see why there are discrepancies between WP
 versions as user-agents.
