I don't see how you can read the text that way. It says

EITHER the order of languages in the Accept-Language header (if present)
OR ELSE the order of languages in the LanguagePriority directive (if 
present)

So if the Accept-Language header is present, the order of languages in 
the LanguagePriority is NOT consulted.

That's how I read it. But the code rules.
