Thanks, fixed in r35900, please test!
 
Note: I agree in that both "slots" (mechanical layers) and holes should 
work the same way in rendering order. However, whether they should be 
rendered above or below paste is not that clear.
 
Rendering paste below holes+mech looks like how your board will after 
pasting, but makes you unable to see that you cover holes with paste. This 
makes it especially hard to visually detect problems like a tiny paste 
opening that's fully covered by a hole or slot.
 
Fortunately rendering order is a question of configuration so if you want 
it the other way around, you can easily change it (look at the diff of 
r35900 for details).
 
Best regards,
