Which Smalltalk implementation are we talking about here? 
In my Dolphin6, after adding the above definition,  I get:

                OrderedCollection new   <-  true  <-  false  <-  #foo.

 RETURNS:

               an OrderedCollection(true false #foo)


I think this just goes to show that a new standard - with multiple
standard-compliant implementations - is much in need indeed.
