http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv changed behaviour

This morning I noticed that bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv now returns the last trades in reverse order and completely ignores the "start" and "end" parameters:

Code:

$ date -d "2013-04-11 03:00:00 UTC" +%s
1365649200
$ date -d "2013-04-11 03:05:00 UTC" +%s
1365649500
$ wget -O usd 'http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv?symbol=mtgoxUSD&start=1365649200&end=1365649500'

So I asked for the trades between 3:00 and 3:05 UTC last night and I got from 11:07 to 13:19 in reverse order. Ie last 2000 trades up to 15 minutes ago. With this change, bitcoincharts has completely broken this API. The documentation at http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/ hasn't changed.
