So the current editor's draft contains the wording:

  # If a property is specified multiple times in the value of
  # ‘transition-property’ (either on its own, via a shorthand that
  # contains it, or via the ‘all’ value), then the transition that
  # starts uses the duration, delay, and timing function at the
  # index corresponding to the last item in the value of
  # ‘transition-property’ that calls for animation that property. 

(It's been there for a bit, though I just modified it a bit to match
a resolution regarding 'all' that we made at TPAC.)

I think this makes things clear enough.  Does it seem ok to you?
