Did object variation ordinal usage change?

I have an automation that uses a template item to copy and create new items with about a dozen item variations.

Previously the template item variations started with ordinal ‘0’ (zero) and incremented from there.
Recently, the ordinals on my template item changed to start with ordinal ‘1’ (one) and increment from there, so now rather than ordinals 0…11, I have ordinals 1…12.

The change may have been introduced by a bulk update I did through a dashboard export/import cycle, but the ordinal certainly was not a column in the file.

This breaks an assumption in the code about how variations are distinguished and ordered.

Is this an known/intentional change?
Should I adjust for ordinals starting at 1 from now on?

Thanks!
