hysterical reasons.

from the code:
      /* The move made is the last on the list.  Some moves might
         have been deleted to fit this one in, so its rank isn't
         known. */

In this case, there were only two moves and yours was the worst of the
two, so it's the last on the list. It could be fixed (if you know that
no moves have been deleted, but that's probably not worth it).
