Actually, there was a reason: at the time the dialog is shown, the
installer switched (`switch_drive_to_system_partition`) its device from
the disk (/dev/sdb) to the partition (/dev/sdb1) with the method
`switch_drive_to_system_partition` and `drive['size']` contains the
size of the partition, which doesn't contain relevant information.

Fixed, but it required quite some code.

I just tested and got the same button ordering than (GTK) `zenity
--question`, so I belive there is no problem to be solved.

Everything is in liveusb's feature/ui_improvement_followups branch.
Expect a tails branch including it soon.
