See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

Thanks for the bug report.

There is an easy workaround by using --math-markup=2 (coarse) mode
instead.  If you read about this option in the help function you will
find that the coarse mode is recommended for your case (order of
equations still changing, in your case 2 and 3).

Making this work in 'fine' markup mode is fairly tricky, unfortunately.
