Change of function order from 4.7.3 to 4.7.4 causes i18n + localization to fail

Excuse-me if I'm wrong, or I'm in the wrong place.

I've installed a 4.7.4 drupal site with i18n.

Unfortunately, the $locale global variable was not being loaded correctly, even though the content was being translated.

After some headaches, I've found this function in common.inc:

function _drupal_bootstrap_full() {
  static $called;
  global $locale;

  ...

  // Initialize the localization system. Depends on i18n.module being loaded already.
  $locale = locale_initialize();
  // Let all modules take action before menu system handles the reqest
  module_invoke_all('init');
}

I've changed the order to

  // Let all modules take action before menu system handles the reqest
  module_invoke_all('init');
  // Initialize the localization system. Depends on i18n.module being loaded already.
  $locale = locale_initialize();

and it worked nicely.

In 4.7.3 the order was invoke modules, locale initialize. Why did it changed in 4.7.4?
