I wasn't involved in this part of the spec really, but that's a parsing error, isn't it? The spec says this:

#If three or four values are given, then each <percentage> or<length> represents an offset and must be preceded by a keyword, which specifies from which edge the offset is given. 

You've got four values, and each one is preceded by a keyword, so 'top 10px' clearly means 10px from the top. But 'center' does not indicate the edge for the offset, and is prevented by the following, which says you can have 'center' by itself (or left or right  by themselves), OR a keyword/measure combination that does NOT include 'center':

[ center | [ left | right ] [ <percentage> | <length> ]?
