Is this a bug that /dev/console is being referenced before it is

Looks like a bug to me. But at the same time, it looks like a bug
that's not been affecting anything.
That's pretty much my reaction to. But what I really want to know is
what its trying to do, and why the bug doesn't matter (academic
curiosity primarily).
Would the technically right(tm) thing to do be-
mknod /dev/console c 5 1
exec < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
mount -n -t tmpfs -o mode=0755 udev /dev
mknod /dev/console c 5 1
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
...
?
(and no, I really don't want the mknod in the initramfs cpio, at least
until I can have an enhanced cpio that can create archives containing
device nodes, without requiring root privs...)
