I've used the LT1013 (since 1993 or so) which has the same "feature".
 
Linear Technology originally (early 90s) claimed that this was because 
they had to rotate the die when fitting it into the SO8 package.

I distincly remember having to create a special symbol under OrCAD
to have the right pinout for this device.
