I'm not sure whether C does so, but I believe that Perl does NOT promise that auto-increments will be executed in the "expected" left-to-right order. Thus, if a single expression includes more than one auto-increment working on the same variable, generally you can't be sure what Perl will do with it. As you found. Did this come up in a real-world situation, or were you specifically seeking to test the limits of Perl? In other words, what problem, if any, are you trying to solve?
