Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment:

My opinion is that it is in fact guaranteed. It makes no sense for all other 
aspects of the dict behavior to be guaranteed and not this one.  This is what 
PyPy and CPython already do and there is no scenario where an implementation 
would be able to append a new pair at the end but unable to reverse the 
operation.

IMO, leaving this in an ambiguous state would created problems unnecessarily 
and it would preclude reasonable uses of the the ordering feature.
