Yes. Madphil pointed it out to me a few months back.
It is noted in the release notes. It was fixed in 1.2.32:                  

+ Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
  .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
  export has produced skencil files and vice versa.

So the workaround for now is deliberately pick 'skencil' to get pos :-)
