Yes, I'm afraid that was the intended behaviour:

  /* Only move the item if the new position is higher in the stack. */
  if (above_pos > item_pos)
    goo_canvas_item_move_child (parent, item_pos, above_pos);

We should probably document that.

It should be fairly easy to write your own function to do what you want
though.
