Ordering of Encoded Values for Annotations

What seems to be the problem?

When creating a new DEX file with annotations containing encoded values, the 
elements do not seem to be ordered according to their name's index in the 
string table which makes dexopt fail:

04-30 22:31:57.487: E/dalvikvm(8110): Out-of-order encoded_annotation name_idx: 
0x6253 then 0x510f
04-30 22:31:57.487: E/dalvikvm(8110): Trouble with item 947 @ offset 0x20210c
04-30 22:31:57.487: E/dalvikvm(8110): Swap of section type 2004 failed
04-30 22:31:57.487: E/dalvikvm(8110): ERROR: Byte swap + verify failed
04-30 22:31:57.657: E/dalvikvm(8110): Optimization failed

The code is rather simple:

for (...) {
  ImmutableAnnotationElement element = new ImmutableAnnotationElement(ae.getName(), value);
  elements.add(element);
}
ImmutableAnnotation ann = new ImmutableAnnotation(v, clazz, elements);

"elements" is a set, so there is no way to influence the order of the elements. 
It does not matter whether we are dealing with class annotations or field 
annotations, the problem always occurs if there is more than one element for 
the annotation.

What is the exact smali/baksmali command that you ran?

see above for code snippet

What version of smali/baksmali are you using? What rom are you working
from?

compiled declib2-2.0.3-dev.jar from source

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

depends on the swallow, there are eager and lazy ones

Please provide any additional information below: error messages, symptoms,
etc.

This seems to be the same issue as 
http://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=158 Is this fixed in dexlib2 as 
well?

The code that fails in dexopt can be found here:
