In System 78.35, ZMail 38.5, microcode 843, CStacy special, on Lisp Machine Six:

Using defflavor with :ORDERED-INSTANCE-VARIABLES (I know this is a bad thing). 
	
(defflavor foo
	(a b c)
	()
  :ordered-instance-variables)

(defflavor bar
	(d e f)
	(foo)
  (:ordered-instance-variables a b c d e f))

Gives ERROR: Flavor BAR has misspelled :ORDERED-INSTANCE-VARIABLES A B C.
But the ordering gets done correctly. This is because SI:DEFFLAVOR1
calls SI:VALIDATE-INSTANCE-VARIABLES-SPEC to check the args to
:ORDERED-INSTANCE-VARIABLES. But SI:VALIDATE-INSTANCE-VARIABLES-SPEC 
only works for locally specified (not inherited) instance-variables.
";Check for typos in user-specified lists of instance variables.
 ;This assumes that only locally-specified (not inherited) instance variables
 ;may be mentioned in DEFFLAVOR declaration clauses."
