which, just to confirm what you are saying, means that the result 
reported at the start of the thread should not occur doesn't it?

there are two tuples, processing one produces

A, a1, a2

or

A, a2, a1


processing the other gives

B, b1

so the possible results are

A, a1, a2, B, b1

B, b1, A, a1, a2

A, a2, a1, B, b1

B, b1, A, a2, a1

but the reported result was

A, b1, B, a1, a2
