Is that correct ?

It has been this way since S/38 days but I have never seen it
documented; that is, that the OS /guarantees/ this sequential behaviour.

The point of using message keys in this way is that you know how far
back to go before you stop looking. The SNDMSG sets a sort of
'checkpoint' that says 'The process I am interested in begins here so
don't look for messages before this point.'
