Indeed. Surprisingly, assignments are done from right to left!, with 
Scilab 5.5.2 as well as with Scilab 6:
--> [a, b, a] = (%pi, %t, "test")
  a  =
  test
  b  =
   T
  a  =
     3.1415927

But when the list of recipients is shorter, only the left sources are 
considered:
--> [a, b] = (%pi, %t, "test")
  b  =
   T
  a  =
    3.1415927

Quite counter-intuitive.
