Default Provider fails to apply if it's defined below its resource

[mikhailshilkov]

What happened?

I assume the order of YAML resources should not matter. However, this program works:

name: aws-yaml
runtime: yaml
resources:
  provider:
    defaultProvider: true
    type: pulumi:providers:aws
    properties:
      region: us-west-2
  alb:
    type: aws:alb:LoadBalancer
    properties:
      tags: 
        Name: test-lb
      name: testing
      subnets: 
        - subnet-eacf3697
        - subnet-939b18f8

while the following one fails

name: aws-yaml
runtime: yaml
resources:
  alb:
    type: aws:alb:LoadBalancer
    properties:
      tags: 
        Name: test-lb
      name: testing
      subnets: 
        - subnet-eacf3697
        - subnet-939b18f8
  provider:
    defaultProvider: true
    type: pulumi:providers:aws
    properties:
      region: us-west-2

with

    error: resource or variable named "provider" could not be found
    error: Error registering resource [alb]: no diagnostics
    error: Error registering resource [provider]: no diagnostics

Example
