aws_s3_bucket cross-region-replication and versioning sub-resources don't seem to execute in order

[silvermy]

Terraform version: 0.9.6

When a aws_s3_bucket resource containing both versioning=true and cross-region-replication, one would expect versioning to be turned on first, as that is a requirement for cross-region-replication.

But, it seems there is a "race condition" of some sort that occasionally leads to the opposite happening, in which case an error is generated saying that cross-region-replication cannot be turned on due to lack of versioning.

Re-running terraform apply does not seem to fix things. Also, the state file seems to believe that the cross-region-replication part has already been completed. The only way we could get things to work was to turn on versioning manually in the console, then remove the replication.* attributes from the bucket resource in the state file, then rerun apply.
