This is the default I have seen in quite a few 4 queue L2 devices, I 
believe it comes from IEEE recommendations:

https://community.extremenetworks.com/extreme/topics/default_802_1p_priority_to_transmit_queue_mapping

     Product           802.1p Priority/CoS    Transmit Queue

Matrix N; non-Policy Priority, 'show port priority-queue'
  -4 or 8 queues-              0      4&8 Qs-> 1
     Fast Ethernet ports       1               0
                               2               0
                               3               1
                               4               2
                               5               2
                               6               3
                               7               3

Since a lot of products will mark IP PREC part of TOS directly into .1p 
bits, this means CS0 and CS3 goes into higher priority queues compared to 
CS1 and CS2.

http://www.hp.com/rnd/device_help/help/hpwnd/webhelp/HPJ4121A/qos_priority_map.html 
seems to indicate HP does the same.

http://alliedtelesis.com/manuals/GS900M_Series_Web_Browser_User_Guide_revA/aw1001299.html 
says the same.

However, I find devices that do differently by default as you have already 
discovered.
