In Lib/lib2to3/pytree.py, Node.pre_order() calls the post_order() method of its children, instead of pre_order().  As a result, the only difference between the two orderings is that pre_order() yields the original node first, whereas post_order() yields the original node last.  It seems highly unlikely to me that any code would depend on this behavior.

The fix, of course, is trivial: change the call to child.post_order() on line 289 into a call to child.pre_order().
