[Axiom-developer] [AxiomProblems] Problem with coefficients

I feel there is a problem with 'coefficients' operator for 
MultivariatePolynomial domain. Let's examine a simple case:
\begin{axiom}
Dg :=  [p3 - 3p2 + 3p1 - p0,3p2 - 6p1 + 3p0,3p1 - 3p0,p0]
\end{axiom}
Now calculate coefficients in two ways:
\begin{axiom}
map(coefficients, Dg::List MPOLY([p0,p1,p2,p3],?))
\end{axiom}
and
\begin{axiom}
map(coefficients, Dg::List MPOLY([p3,p2,p1,p0],?))
\end{axiom}
As you see the list are all reversed, but... they were not padded with zeros. 
While in my opinion they should be - we have a given order of variables, and 
alone 1 in the last list suggests that this is a coefficient of p3 while it 
isn't. It is a coefficient of p0.
