ordering is important within the pom.xml since it carry info on the sequence of execution. jruby and ruby-1.9 do iterate in same order as the keys gets included, that helps to copy the order of declaration from the ruby DSL over to pom.xml. with ruby-1.8 the hash behaviour is different and since ruby-1.8 is end of life there is no support for ruby-1.8. though it might just works fine on simple setup.
