Execution of the Export action can occur out of the sequence position in which it appears in the action group. e.g.
Format value "TITLE": FIRST
Export "%title%"
Format value "TITLE": SECOND
writes SECOND not FIRST as expected.

Export actions are always performed at the end of any other actions. This is due to a per-file handling of all other actions which doesn't apply to export actions.
Marked as "No Bug" but I'll add a note to the help file (export is missing here at the moment anyway).
Kind regards,
Florian

Yup, that's what I've found.

That would seem to require it to be first or last. It would be useful if Mp3tag did allow (also) first... so that its output could be used by e.g. Import Text File to achieve inter-file tasks such as counting discs.

Thanks. Even clearer would be for the Action list to disallow it in positions in which it will not execute.
